UP TOWN ITEMS.
REPORTED BY UP TOWN, ESQ.


BEFORE B. MILLS, ESQ., May "a. City u.s.
Ihos. Felvey-Dr,nakennes and Disorderly con-
duct.-Thomas yielded to the force of an i'm
perious habit, and yielding he soon presented
to the world sad spectacle of frail humanity,
borne down to the earth by exceeding weight
ofspirts The City Marshal took compassion
on Thomas, lifted him from his low estate and
escorted him him to his Honor, the Recorder,
who placed Thomas in durance vile, in default
of paying a fine of SIS and costs, for violating
the city ordinance in such case made and pro-
yided.
City rs. George James and Joseph Hyae-To-
lating License Laie.-The defendants were
hauling lumber from the wharf, with two
horse wagon, having taken out no wagon
license. They had procured dray license
sGnd probably thought they were entitled to
use wagon under the same. Fine 81 and
costs.
Wagoners and draymen should keep posted
and avoid little difficulties of this kind, as there
is probability that the City ordinances which
have been for some time dead letters, will now
be enforced rigidly.
City u.s. Jas. Scott Drunkenness and Disor-
4. Derby Conduct.-James was found enjoying the
luxury of very large brick in his hat. James
talked with a little more vigor and vehemence
and cavorted around with rather more ANNA
ton than was consistent with the strict re-
'"quirments of sobriety, and in consequence
thereof found himself all at once, defendant in
the above entitled cause. Witnesses having
been questioned, concerning the matter, it was
considered that James had been guilty of vio-
lation, precept laid down in the city primer,
and he was accordingly muIcted in So and
'costs-no money-jugged.
BEFORE VIM kEMPF, ESQ. MAY %. State
u.s. Nm. lf5Her-Assaut and Battery.-Some-
tiraeS in the course Of human events, it be-
comes necessary for individuals, occupying the
closest relations to each other, to give tangible
manifestations of their distinct individuality,
so that neither one, imagining the other COM
pletely identified with his or herself may usurp
an entire control over the rights and preroga-
tives of both. So thought VIM. Miller, and the
hour of breakfast one morning found him and his
wife Jemima engaged in an argument concern
ing certain proprieties and improprieties, and
merged in metaphysical subtleties William
used striking argument, Jemima naturally
took offence at this undue familiarity, and COM
planned of her spouse before Esq. Kempf
VIM. plead innocence and his attorney also
thought that his unfortunate client was sans
reproach. But VIM. Miller was mulcted in So
and costs, as warning to all Benedcts who
attempt to enforce too stringently the precept.
"Wives obey your husbands"
State Us. VIM. MilIer-Su1Tty of the Peace
--Jemima having in the previous action obtained
indemnity for the past, now seeks security
for the future and for this end swears that she
fears that her husband the defendant above
named, will injure her by violence and take
her life, at the same time declaring that she
makes the affidavit only to secure the protec-
ton of the law and not through malice or an
ger.
The action was dismissed, on the defendant
agreeing to give his own recognizance in $50
to keep the peace generally, and particularly
toward his wife, for six months.
