Named Entity Results, John Thomas

The county Court of Henrico was in session yesterday, and disposed of several unimportant cases. Louis Hena, indicted for permitting unlawful gaming in his ordinary, was arraigned, tried and found guilty. Under the law, the Court fined him $100, deprived him of his license to keep an ordinary, and required him to give security in the sum of $100 to be of good behavior in the future. The same party was also found guilty of permitting an unlawful assembly of slaves in his ordinary, and fined $3 and costs. The Grand Jury of this Court made presentments against John Noker, Thos. Breeden, Washington Cornett in three cases, Jas. Pratt in three cases, and John Thomas in two cases, for selling liquor in violation of the laws of the State. Price Harris, arrested under a capias pro fine, was committed to prison, there to remain until the fines imposed on him for selling ardent spirits contrary to law are paid, or until otherwise discharged.

The John Thomas case. --The case of the negro, John Thomas, who was brought to Richmond from New York, has been bauled up by the Black Republicans. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, this morning, Judge Mullen addressed the grand jury on the subject of the habJohn Thomas, who was brought to Richmond from New York, has been bauled up by the Black Republicans. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, this morning, Judge Mullen addressed the grand jury on the subject of the habeas corpus of the fugitive slave, John Thomas. Some men, said the Judge, had seized this person in the street, and taken him, by force, before one of the U. S. Courts, and from there he was conveyed to Virginia. His Honor went on to say that it was due to the law of the land that this case be not passed by as a trifle; if a cJohn Thomas.

His Honor went on to say that it was due to the law of the land that this case be not passed by as a trifle; if a colored man be so carried off, a white man could be served in the same manner; and although, in the present disturbed state of the country, he did not like to allude to such a topic, still it was necessary to preserve the dignity of the law and the rights of individuals. His Honor would not state whether the United States Marshal o

Police Court. --The rigmarole of rascality before the Chief Magistrate, on yesterday, was, though limited, decidedly unique. With the exception of one or two "nuisances," the budget consisted of allegations of theft. John Williams was charged with robbing Peter Pride of sundry "Memmingers," of the denomination of tens and twenties, but was discharged, owing to the fact that the evidence of the only witness was not sufficiently conclusive to justify a "send on." John Thomas, who said he was a servant to Major Barbour, was remanded for purloining about forty dollars from Sam Bell; and the remnant of the money found on his person answering to the description given, was handed over to the said Sam.--Elias Vannerlip was accused of stealing sundry hay from J. N. Horflect. His case had been continued from the day preceding, in order to enable him to bring up some witnesses in his behalf; but not having them ready yesterday, he was bailed to appear before the Court of Hustings.--A nu
