         MAGISTRATE'S COURTS. -
         HOOPER HYDE was arrested yesterday and
       taken before 'Squire Mathews, charged with
       having kicked the lights out of a hack. In
       the course of the investigation of the charge,
       he used insulting language to the magistrate
       and was fined $5 for contempt of court. Not
       having the change about him, a mittimus was
       made out, and he was delivered to Jo. Cheatham
       to be taken to jail. After he got out of the
       officer, he gave the office leg bail.
       
         LIZZIE SMITH, a very low-down prostitute
       - not one of the bedizzened creatures who
       air themselves in hacks daily on our streets,
       but one of those who hav'nt a change of calico -
       was up, charged by JOHN FAGAN with stealing
       his pocket-book. JOHN had gone to her den
       drunk, and woke up sober, minus his money.
       But JOHN could bring no proof to satisfy
       the magistrate that LIZZIE had taken it. So
       the case was dismissed at his cost.
       
         HAM ALEXANDER was up on a charge of being
       an accomplice in a larceny case. JIM FLEMMING,
       under arrest on the same charge, was a witness
       against him. HAM was sent to jail. The princi-
       pal in the case is one FOSTER, who bagged $75
       or $80 belonging to MARTIN DAWSON.
       
         CHRISTY MULLIN, a virtuous maiden, appeared
       before the 'Squire and swore out a warrant
       against GEORGE GILLIESPIR, charging him with
       making an assault upon her with intent to
       commit a rape. GEORGE was arrested and held
       to bail.
