Jerry, slave of Mr. Mary Hanlon, charged with stealing a piece of beef from the Second Market, and Joe, slave of E. D. Eacho, arrested for throwing stones in the street, were also ordered to be whipped.

Mrs. Mary Stephens, charged with receiving one counterpane, the property of Theodore Figes, knowing it to have been stolen, proved by several witnesses that the article claimed by the complainant had been in her possession some time anterior to the loss of the one in dispute. She was accordingly discharged.

Dick, slave of J. B. Anderson, charged with stealing a lot of brass castings from the Virginia Central railroad shops, was remanded to jail to await a hearing this morning.
