LOCAL MATTERS.
Richmond Circuit Court, January
I iTH.—The estate of Thomas Jones, de
ceased, was, on motion of Mrs. Jones,
by counsel, this day committed to the
hands of 11. K. EUyson, sheriff of Rich
mond, for administration.
A return to the writs of habeas corpus
in the case of Solomon Lillinfeld, claim
ing exemption as an undomiciled for
eigner, was made to-day, and the further
hearing of the case postponed to Wed
nesday next. Mr. James Lyons for
affiant.
A writ of habeas corpus was granted
upon petition of Josiah 11. Harris, of
Hanover county, who claims exemption
as an overseer of the poor, and was made
returnable to the 1 i>th instant. The pro
cess was directed to Captain Growers, of
company E, Fifteenth Virginia regiment,
in whose company petitioner .now is.
Mr. Lyons concluded his argument in
the case of the undomiciled foreigner,
which has been before the court for some
time, but was delayed in consequence of
the sickness of Mr. Lyons. The court
reserved its decision until some future
day. The court then adjourned until
Tuesday next.
Mayor's CoruT.-On Saturday the
following cases claimed the attention of
the Mayor:
James E. Robertson, the young-man
noticed in our Saturday's issue ss having
hcen arrested on the charge of stealing
two pieces of dry goods from Messrs.
Chiles & Chehery, was up for a hearing.
A memher of the firm testified that the
accused came to the store twice that
rooming before committing the theft;
that on his third visit he slipped the
goods under his overcoat, and was in the
act of leaving, when a servant in the
employ of the witness called attention to
his conduct; whereupon the prisoner was
taken to the back part of the stoic and
searched. The stolen goods were found
buttoned up under his overcoat. Robert
son was sent on for indictment by the
Grand Jury.
Before leaving the bar, Robertson was
again arraigned on the charge of steal
ing a piece of light cassimere goeds from
the store of Alfred Tolleson. (Micer
•Jenkins testified that, while executing a
search warrant in the prisoner's room, at
the house of his father-in-law, he found
a new ladies' cloak, made up from goods
resembling that which Had been stolen
from Mr. Tolleson's store. Upon in
quiry, the witness ascertained that the
prisoner, who has been married only
three or four weeks, had made his wife
a present of the cloth, and she had made
it up into a cloak. At first the accused
stated that he bought the cloak pattern
at auction, and that that was all he had
of it; but, upon searching further, an
other lot of the was found.
Mr. Tolleson identified the goods as some
which had been stolen from his store
about the 81st of December last, aiid
said that he had lost a great many arti
cles before. The accused was also re
manded in this case for indictment, ma
king three charges of a like character
now pending against him before the
Grand Jury of the Hustings Court
Israel, slave of Henry Bruin, and Jor
dan, slave of Georgiana Charters, were
charged with stealing two quarters of
fresh beef and a lot of pork, valued at
two thousand five hundred dollars, the
property of the Confederate Slates. The
.» f was stolen from the meat-house on
Broad street, which was broken open by
the parties who committed the robbery.
In the house of a negro woman, slave of
Kichard Taliaferro, a portion of the meat
was afterwards found. The evidence
against the accused was of the strongest
character; but, owing to the absence of
other parties supposed to be involved in
the transaction, the further prosecution
of the matter was postponed till today.
Nathan, slave of Madison Macon,
charged with stealing a trunk containing
'a quantity of clothiug, the property of
" Captain T. M. Semmes, was ordered to
be whipped.
A charge against James Smith, of
assaulting and beating his wife, was
dismissed, it having been shown that
the disturbance was caused by Mrs.
Smith, who was somewhat under the in
fluence of liquor.
The continued case of Frank Morris,
alias Frank Herman,' charged with the
murder and robbery of Michael liouke,
was called up; but, from the sane cause
which heretofore necessitated its post
ponement, the prisoner was recommitted
to prison for his appearance to answer on
the 23d instant.
* Elizabeth Dawson, charged with re
ceiving a silver watch, the property of
Michael Itoukc, deceased, knowing that
it was stolen from Route on the night of
s . his murder, was bailed to answer that
offence on the 2<*Jd Instant. J
-*- — •
Police Arrests.—The following arrests
were made by the civil police Saturday
sod yesterday:
Julia, slave of Isabella HatdifTe, charged
with stealing a breastpin; Davy, slave
Of Holt Wilson, Stealing beef from J. B.
Wilde ; James and Charles, slaves of
isos TittfherUke, charged with aiding in
tfo jttiM to the Yankees of Jsufes,
$Wfim Peter Webster, and John, slave*
WW
Pater Webster, charged with attempting
to escape to the Yankees; Jas. Melviiv
a whfe» man, charged with receiving a
lot of com, oats, shoes, clothing, Ac, the
property of the Confederate States, know
ing them to have been stolen, and John,
slave of Robt. Oliver, arrested upon slis"
p-cion of trying to go to the Yankees.
Sentence Remitted.—The sentence of,
three months' confinement in Castle
Thunder at hard labor passed upon R.
D'Orsay I >gden by military court- martial,
a short time since, has been remitted in
consequence of the precarious state of
his health. He was sent to Camp Lee
on Saturday for consignment, but during
the day obtained a limited leave of ab
sence to visit the city, and was in at
tendance at the theatre that night. In
the opinion of Mr. Ogdcn's physician,
he was not able to conform to the stipu
lations of the linding of the court mar.
tial in his case, and the authorities,
therefore, thought it better that he should
perform service elsewhere than remain as
an inmate of the hospital.
A Supposed Spy.—F. *W. Robartes
was arrested yesterday and committed
to Castle Thunder on the charge of
being a spy. The accused arrived in
this city a lew weeks since and claimed
to be a* regularly commissioned lieuten
ant-colonel in the Royal Army of Eng
land ; but, in the absence of all papers
establishing that fact, and his inability to
produce any acquaintances from among
the numerous English gentlemen now
in tiiis city, his statements arc all
doubted, and'therefore his arrest upon
the charge above cited. When arrested
be was endeavoring to obtain passports
to go through the lines.
RuNKiKfl Persons rHßouon toe Lines.—
Detectives Jones and Fitchetf arrested,
on Saturday night, John Munn. of this
city, upon the charge of running persons
through the lines. Munn had bargained
to carry a white man through in a couple
of hours, receiving in advance rive hun
dred dollars for that purpose. When ar -
rested, he was about starting off with
his man. He is an old offender, and -fi
already under heavy bonds to answer a
similar offence,
Retvbnsb Home.—Hon. P. P. Blair,
about whose visit to this city there has
been so much speculation, left for home
on Saturday by the Federal tlag-of-truce
boat. [Upwards of fifty Federal surgeons
and chaplains were also passengers on
the same boat.
Amnio in the Escape of Slates. —
John Ilix, of Henrico county, charged
with aiding slaves to escape to the Yan
kees, was committed to Castle Thunder
on Saturday.
