Case Diswissen —Last night, Mr. J. W. Barneclo appeared at the office of Justice Donn to answer the charge of obtaining goods amounting in value to over $1,100, under falze retences, from a Baltimore merchant named ich Mr. Carrington appesred as counsel for the provecution, and Mr. Ratcliffe for the defence The examination of witnesses and the arguments of the counsel occupied much time, after which Justice Donn dismissed the ease, giving the following reasons for his de- cision: A case of false pretences was oot made out; it was the duty of the merchant to use proper caution, and if defendant bad made a false statement it was very eazy to controvert it. Barneclo, it sppeared, offered no induce- ment to the merchant to give him credit, but made a bare statement of what he considered his condition at the time. The subsequent acts of the prosecuting witness and the de- fendant showed clearly the absence of any fe- loniousiatent. Plaintiff had eent a stock of goods to defeniant who found there was more tent him than he wanted, and he immediately returned them to the merchant. In view of these facts and the evidence before him the jastice considered it his duty to dismiss the case Miss Euva Sraxtsy.—We last night wit- nessed = most astonishing exhibition, being nothing legs than the euccessful entertainment of an audience for an entire baer by a sir- gle performer, but whose wonderful transfor- mations and powers of mimicry are such that we could well sigh sworn to having seen an entire dramatic ard operatic compan Fancy @ female Charles Matthews or Dr Valentine and you have a faint conception of Mies Stan- ley.
