Stealing a watch.
--A small lad, who gave his name as Thomas Dobson, was arraigned before the Mayor last Saturday to answer the charge of stealing a silver watch, worth $11, from Thomas Fitzpatrick, about the 3rd inst.--Fitz knew nothing of the theft. He only knew that his watch had been taken, and that be had been unable to recover it. Two boys, associates of the prisoner, testified that he told them that he had given the watch to a negro hackman, but they had not seen the watch, and knew nothing about it. Tom admitted that he told the boys what they had said, but declared that he had only done so to get rid of them, as they were dogging him about the streets. To enable other witnesses to be summoned, the investigation was adjourned until Monday morning.
