he deemed that the city had no right to prose
cute the accussed under the circumstances, and
he therefore 1 discharged them. : j -... ;
The particulars in this case are that Belle By

estate and personal effects, and without an heir.

Belle Ryburn, and to prevent any loss by theft
they proceed ; to take, an; inventory, when they
find the trunks of the deceased woman broken

was not proven. The authorities at Raleigh
were telegraphed to. arrest them and they were

Com-
missioner Shackelford.
? ;i The first case called upon before his honor to
day was that of Amanda Hooper and Delia
Joyce, or Delia Vernon, as she is called some
times, who were arrested in Raleigh and brought
down to the city yesterday, by officer Hughes,
of the local police. The charges against the
parties were leaving the house of Isabella. Ry
brun while in charge of the same, and taking
therefrom her money and jewelry, while the said
Isabella Ryburn was known to be in a dying
condition, and who i subsequently died the day
after their departure for Kaleigh.
' A number.' of .witnesses were called and testi
fied in the case, and the wearing, apparel, from
some half dozen trunks, belonging to the accus
ed, were exposed for inspection, in order that
witnesses might identify anything that belonged
to deceased. A dress and one or two articles
were picked out, but even they were in doubt
The unpacking of the trunks and the strewn ca
lico about the room looked more like a country
store than anything else at present in mind.
They were sent before Justice Cbnoley.
More Iron. Two colored youths were next
brought up for retailing iron without a proper
title to the same.
They were given a, lecture
and discharged.
And so the court adjourned, his honor leading
the way.
