Wed Jan 18, 1860
POLICE COURT
Justice Bardwell Presiding
Tuesday,
Jan. 17th - A young man belonging to one of the Hose Companies was sued for a
violation of a city ordinance by bursting in the door of an Engine House on
Sunday. He confessed that he broke in the door, because he had no key and
supposed that he had a right to do so. The penalty of $50 and costs was
entered against him. The young man appeared to be sorry for what he had done,
and the penalty will probably not be enforced against him.
Wednesday, Jan. 18th - James WELLS,
of North Greece, was drunk in St. Paul street. He paid costs and got off.
James KILLCULLEN, better known as
"Albany Jim," was very much intoxicated and went to the Penitentiary
in default of paying ten dollars.
John DALTON, a young fellow, who has
been in the House of Refuge, attempted to steal a watch from Mackie's store.
Committed for further examination.
----<>----
ATTEMPT TO GRAB A WATCH - THIEF
IDENTIFIED BY A LITTLE GIRL - Yesterday, towards evening, a young fellow about
18 years old, with villainous antecedents, went into Mackie's jewelry store,
on State street, under pretence that he wanted to purchase something. It being
tea time, there was but one clerk in the store, and he was attending to
customers on the opposite side of the store from where this young chap stood.
Presently the clerk saw the fellow reaching over a fence between the counter
and the door to where some customers' watches were hanging in the window. He
grabbed one of the watches - a forty-five dollar lever - but it did not
readily come off the hook, and in the act of hard pulling to get it clear he
raised the bar, upon which a number of watches were suspended, out of place,
and all fell to the floor. This was a smash which alarmed the clerk and the
thief too, for the latter released his hold upon the watch and ran out of the
door. The clerk pursued but did not overtake the flying rogue. Presently a
little girl, who sells shavings for fire kindling, came in and said that she
knew the fellow who was running away - that his name was John DALTON, and that
he had annoyed her by overturning her basket of shavings one time, and she was
ready to repay him by pointing the Police to his residence. For a quarter of a
dollar in hand paid she went to the Police Station and gave such information
as enabled some of the Night Police last night to catch DALTON at his father's
house. He was committed for further examination.
The
antecedents of this boy are bad. He was sent to the House of Refuge two or
three years since for stealing copper pipe from Walbridge's saw mills. About
three months since he was discharged, and has now commenced a bolder method of
stealing. How much was this lad benefitted by going to the House of Refuge?
The worst class of young fellows that we have among us are those who have been
in the House of Refuge and were discharged long before their majority. We fear
that too many are dismissed on the application of friends, who are not
reformed, and who are just in the situation to become confirmed villains.
----<>----
PAINFUL ACCIDENT BY A FALL - This
forenoon an accident of a painful and perhaps serious character occurred at
the foundry of Bennett & Co., Buffalo street. A man named John GARDNER,
employed in the Foundry, was engaged in sweeping the ceiling, preparatory to
its being whitewashed, and while so employed, accidently fell from a temporary
floor to the ground below. The fall was in consequence of stepping upon the
end of a plank, which projected some distance beyond its bearing upon a beam.
The distance to the ground was sixteen or eighteen feet, and the unfortunate
man struck among some flasks and clamps used in the furnace. He was taken up
considerably injured, and Dr. MOORE was called to attend him. The Doctor could
only find one wrist broken, but he had reason to fear that the spine was
injured, and that there might be internal injury. At present it is difficult
to predict what the result of the case may be.
Mr. GARDNER
is a man of about 45 years, of steady habits, and a worthy man in every
particular. He has a family, and resides on Finney St., in the 10th ward. He
is dependent upon his daily earnings for support, and is truly an object of
sympathy. We trust that his injuries may not prove as severe as there is
reason to fear they will.

MARRIED
At the residence of the bride's
father, on the 17th inst., by Rev. Dr. A. G. HALL, Mr. William A. REYNOLDS, of
Janesville, Wisconsin, to Miss Jennie, daughter of T. B. HUSBAND, Esq., of
this city.
----<>----
COURT OF SESSION - Judge CHUMASERO
had so far recovered this morning as to be able to come into court and
transact a little business.
John McLAUGHLIN was arraigned to
plead to three indictments, viz: violation of Excise Law, keeping a disorderly
house, and robbery in the 1st degree. He pleaded not guilty. He gave bail in
the sum of $700 to answer the two first indictments - and James COLTER became
his surety. The other indictment goes to the Oyer & Terminer.
Patrick M'GORY was charged with arson
in the 3rd degree; setting fire to a barn belonging to Terrance M'MANNIS.
He pleaded not guilty and was committed to Jail.
Aaron FOSMIRE was arraigned for
assault with intent to kill Edward HILL. He pleaded not guilty and was
committed for trial.
Sylvester WILCOX pleaded not guilty to
an indictment for assault with intent to kill and gave bail in the sum of
$1,500. He is one of the Honeoye Falls who took the Melodeon from Draper and
Parmely.
The Court then adjourned to Monday
next, when the Judge expects to be able to resume labor.
----<>----
THAT DISCHARGE - The Captain of the
Night Police, who has charge of the Station, informs us that the drunken
woman, who was locked up on Monday night and could not be found yesterday
morning, was discharged by him. He heard that she had a young child at home,
which was crying after her, and sent a Policeman to enquire about it. Finding
that it was as stated, he discharged the woman to go home. As we alluded to
the case yesterday, we give the explanation, as it is made to us above.
----<>----
BOYS BE CAREFUL - A gentleman tells
us his horse came near running away in consequence of being struck by a stone
which the boys were knocking in play. His family were riding and were much
frightened. The boys must have their play; they should have it by all means.
But let the
boys be careful and not frighten horses - especially when women and children
are involved.

Rochester, NY
Monday, Jan. 30th --Francis SLAVEN, a young man suffering from delirium tremens,
was sent to Jail.
Thomas CURRY, a constable of Greece, was examined on a charge of wilfully
letting a prisoner escape from custody. He was held to answer and gave
bail.
Tuesday, Jan. 31--Margaret Ann PATTERSON, a miserable creature, was drunk in St.
Paul street last night and had to be taken to the Station by two Policemen who
had a great deal of trouble in getting her along. She ought to have gone
to the Penitentiary, but got off with a fine of three dollars.
John SMITH, the fellow from out of town who was in the Heenan muss on Sunday,
was drunk last night and was sent up.
Wm. DUFFY was disorderly in St. Paul street, hanging about the doors of the
Theatre. He was let off upon promise to behave better in future.
John SMUTT was drunk and disorderly and paid three dollars to get off.
Court of Sessions
Present--Judge CH--MASARO, Justices DE LAND and CLARK
Monday, Jan. 30th--Edwin HALSTED, the carpet bag thief was found guilty of petit
larceny. This verdict was quite as ridiculous as it would have been had
they found him guilty of murder of arson. The lowest value fixed upon the
stolen property was $33 and yet it is made petit larceny. The plea of
insanity or imbecility ought to have acquitted him altogether if it was worth
anything--it could not properly be used to change the grade of his crime.
Sentence was postponed to a future day.
Tuesday, Jan. 31.--This morning Lyman JOHNSON was put upon trial for grand
larceny. He is one of a party of three who stole a number of bee hives
from Michael BOWERMAN, in Ontario county, and brought the honey to this city.
JOHNSON broke Jail with a large party who assaulted the Jailer and burst open
the doors one Sunday evening but he was soon after retaken and is now likely to
go to Auburn.
Supreme Court--Special Term.
Present--Judge SMITH
Jan.30--Cause No. 3, Z.L. DAVIS, rec., &c., vs Luther GRAVES et al., was

Josephine FOWLER vs. Chas. G. FOWLER. Odered that defendant pay to
plaintiff or her attorney eight dollars per week, from the 1st of Dec. 1859, and

and maintenance. psm
