San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, May 14, 1859, Vol. 1 No.6. BIRTH At Martin's Landing (on the coast,) May 1st, Louisa, wife of Wm. TROTTER, of a daughter. HOME SUMMARY A new map of San Francisco has just made its appearance, which must be a very great improvement on those heretofore in use. It shows the exact elevation of every part above the sea; the location of every house, fence, road, field, slough, etc. It represents an area extending one mile west of the Plaza, and a half-mile south of the Mission. George D. BRUSH, Treasurer of Calaveras county, is reported to be a defaulter to a large amount. An order has been made that his bond be prosecuted. Upon the discovery of the dafalcation, it created considerable feeling and much surprise, as up to that time Mr. BRUSH had enjoyed the confidence of everyone. The steamships Golden Gate and Orizaba on the 5th inst., carried off one thousand five hundred and fifty-six passengers, and two million four hundred thousand dollars in treasure. Mrs. BILLMAN, tried in the Twelfth District Court for the murder of her husband, was on the 6th inst., acquitted. The verdict of not guilty created considerable surprise. Richard F. RYAN, a surveyor of San Francisco, indicated as a accessory to the abstraction of certain public records, has been tried and acquitted. The indictments returned against the Supervisory of Sacrament to a Grand Jury, have been quashed in the Court of Sessions. The Overland Mail of Monday last carried out one thousand seven hundred and fifty letters. A very great increase over former mails. A nolle prosequi has been entered in the case of James MAGNESS, who was indicted with Mrs. BILLMAN, for the murder of BILLMAN. Five men are reported to have been killed by Indians at Klamath Lake. Thirty others have started from Jacksonville in pursuit. The new silver dollar, coined at the branch mint at San Francisco, has made its appearance in that city. Chinese are beginning to arrive again in San Francisco in large numbers, direct from the Celestial Empire. The last Overland Mail from St. Louis brought in sixteen hundred and seventy-one letters. DISCHARGED. _ Charles PECK, who was arrested in San Francisco on a charge of grand larceny, in stealing a purse containing about two hundred and fifty dollars from a family at Belmont, was on Monday last brought to this place, and after a full investigation of the facts before Just CROOK, the accused was discharged. A daughter of John HANSON, of Mokelumne Hill, died a few days since, from eating the phosphorous off from matches. Accidents of this kind are of frequent occurrence, and parents cannot be too careful of letting their children play with matches. Mr. John HANLEY has been appointed Deputy Road Commissioner for Township No. 3.
