Police Affairs

--Yesterday was a busy day with the civil police, the following parties having been arrested and caged for examination before the Mayor for the offences set opposite their names, viz: William Sullivan alias William Barrett, for feloniously breaking and entering John C shafer's store-house in the night time and stealing there from $10,000 worth or dry goods. James Morris, Richard Morris and John W Williams were arrested on the same charge. James Morris was also arrested for breaking and entering the jewelry store of Hamet A. and stealing there from watches and jewelry of the value of $2,500. Some of the property was found on his person. The above parties pretend to be Baltimoreans. Thos Carr was arrested for being a suspicious person without viable means of support, and supposed to be one of the persons who robbed Shafer's store. Thomas Collier was arrested as a person of evil fame and without lawful means of support. Francis McAdams was put in for being drunk and disorderly in the street, and the notorious "Capt." Black Livingston was arrested on a warrant charging him with obtaining a military coat under false pretenses from E H Irvin. The cage has seldom held so many malefactors as it did last night.
