and then, as charged, urge his French steed TO
speed beyond the rate of ten miles an hour; upon
which evidence the Commonwealth rested the
charge
MIR. Ponds counsel stated 10 the court that the
horse IN question horee reH Auown in this
city, and that he should bring witnesses who were
well acquainted with him, io.prove, that under no
circumstances, and upon consideration, could
eight miles an hour be got out Of him.

horse in question: was no doubt OF long standing,
and Of very familiar and intimate nature, but the

No other witnesses appearing, the jadgs sumfnsd
up, finding Pond guilty, and fining him dollar
and costs, from which decision he appealed.
