there, held up and the carriage passed on. Mrs:
L., however, took this as an insult, and ordered
the footman to seize Mr.. Fitc, and he held him
while she cowhidcd him.. The assault was
fully proved, and the jury rendered a verdict OF
$50 fine and costs, and also a fine of $40 on the
man who held Ffte's horsc.-N. Y. Mirror.
