The case of Thos Et. Smith, a seafaring
man, charged with being drunk and
disorderly continued from yesterday ,was
the next case on docket ; sentence of, the
court, $5 fine, which, - was afterwards

charged.

upon Constable C. W. Oldham while in
the discharge of his duty as an officer in

upon the latter's 'attempting to serve a
warrant as above stated at Mr. E. D.
Hewlett's store, on Fourth, between
Church and Castle streets, yesterday
