RECORDERS CoURT.-On Saturday
there was but one case before the Re-
corder. The offence was that of leav-
ing wood on the sidewalk. A fine
was imposed, which will perhaps
prove sufficient to prevent a repeti-
ton of the violation of the city ordi-
nances governing such cases.
BEFORE Esquire WALKER. Two
cases of assault and battery were dis
posed of by Esquire Walker last Sat
urday. A white man, at the saloon
on the corner of Fourth and Locust
streets. assaulted a negro, the cause Of
which was not ascertained. It was
adjudged by the Justice that the ac-
cused was guilty, and fine of 81, and
costs, was imposed. Fighting is bad
business, especially with negroes.
Another party was fined 81 and
costs for assault and battery. This
case grew odt of a quarrel between
two children. A parent of one of the
boys attempted to separate, and aid
separate the combatants, but it was
claimed he separated the lads little
too hard, being a great deal rougher
with his neighbor's boy than was nee
essary.
BEFORE ESQUIRE STINsoN. case
under the late enacted law making the
provocation of an assault punishable
offense, was disposed of by Esquire
Stinson on Saturday. A fine Of 20
cts. was imposed. The cost, however,
was $3.50, which, with the fine, made
even change. A five and two dollar
greenbaek settled the "provocation"
