Trial for Robbery.
--Three negroes, named William, Cornelius, and Jenks, charged with breaking into and robbing the store room of Mr. James H. Grant, on Saturday night last, of a large quantity of provisions, were examined before the Mayor yesterday morning. Mr. Grant, whose farm is some miles from this city, fearing that he might be visited by the Yankee raiders occasionally prowling about the country, bad removed therefrom several barrels of sugar, 5,000 or 6,000 pounds of bacon, and other articles, to the store room over his factory, in this city, for safe keeping. The boys arraigned above slept over this store-room, and conceiving the idea of possessing themselves of some of the rich luxuries, fore up the plank flooring above and descended to the repository below. They then set to work and succeeded in passing through the aperture created by the removed planks several barrels of sugar and about two thousand pounds of bacon, the whole amounting in value to between $5,000 and $6,000 worth. The evidence against the accused being very strong, they were remanded to jail to await further trial before the Hustings Court.
