Jim Hermit was taken before the magistrate,
charged with being dsorderiy ia the market. He
was also found 70 be a vagrant, IL appearing in
examination that he had no visible means of sup
pot: The magistrate, in pity for his unfortunate
condition, sent him over to Queens to board
during space Of ninety days. Jim contended

vengeance on the magistrate for taking such un-
warrantable liberties.
Before Jsstics C7ark-AIice Kelley was tried
on charge OF selling liquor without a license.
The defence was that the defendants husband
wasout of town, and that he being her natural and
lawful protector, was only amenable under the
law. We learn that instances Of such offences
have occurred where the officers have instructed
ae.eace Of their husbands. The magistrate thought
differently, however, and fined the defendant $40
and costs.
