ground that there are some offences for which
the law affords no adequate remedy, and said
that while he had a heart to feel and hand

her with dishonor. His property might be
squandered, his life endangered, but he would

that he bowed to the majesty of the law and

Judge Crawford said that as the matter

to comment on the testimony, and would pro-

Brooks pay fine of $500.
