Moses Creighton was very, very
drunk-so drunk in fact that he did not
know where he was, and in this condi-
ton he deliberately pulled of his boots
and laid down on the pavement, under
the sweet delusion that he was retiring
on q couch of roses instead Of bricks,
This was in broad day light, but time
was a matter of no consideration to
Moses. He saw Cor thought he saw the
smooth and inviting surface made by
the handi-work of the brio klayer, and
knew that it was for public use for Pc
Gestriau purposes, and as he could not
walk he determined TO take his share Of
it by lying down. He was conveyed to
the lookup in wheelbarrow, for which
ride and one nights lodging he paid one
dollar.
The case of Mrs. Ann Hazard was q
mysterious one and we are not sure
whether we will be able to unravel the
mystery connected with it or not. Her
husband, Ben. Hazard, charges her
with assault and battery, and the evil
dence very conclusively proved that
Mrs. Ann bad some temper which she
could use effectually when aroused.
Ben. We believe is a carpenter, (or at
least he uses a carpenters rule in his
profession,) and few days ago he Went
10 his home to get some tools TO under
take a job of work promised him. Mrs.
Ann resisted his intrusion into the
house with marked ability, which would
have reflected credit on one of the
sterner sex, By inhicting several
not very love-like taps with
a stick across his back, which compelled
Ben. 10 make hasty retreat and give
up any further aggressive movements.
Ben. then formed himself into a council
of one aud came TO the unanimous con-
clusion that he would seek redress from
higher authority than that of force, and
for that purpose preferred the charge of
assault against Mrs. Ann. The mystery
of this case is simply this, if We are in
formed correctly: Ben. is now in Jail for
falling to produce security to keep the
peace between him and his wife. We
may be mistaken, but it seems to us
that both of them are predisposed 10
quarrel, and the sooner Mrs. Ann car
ries her threat into execution of settling
the matter by a divorce, the better it
will be for both of them. She was fined
FIVE dollars and costs, which she paid.
Yesterday morning about one or two
o'clock the occupants of the lookup
were disturbed in their peaceful slum-
bers by loud noise proceeding from
striking or hammering against the out
side door. The individual who attends
to the outside affairs there asked what
was the matter, when be was answered
by frail, cracked, delicate female voice
desiring a nights lodging. Upon open
ing the door the unfortunate creature,
known as Lizzie Burkett, edged her way
in with the request that she
might be permitted to remain there
all night. This was granted,
and in the merning when We arrived at
the Court she was indulging in the
sweet refrains of the Nightingale which
were very pitiful to contemplate when
We knew from what delapidated crea-
ture they came from. Lizzie has no
home, but the one she finds in jail and
as a last resort, when all mankind and
womankind forsakes ner, she seeks its
confines for thirty days, when she re-
turns to public life for day OF two
again. She has had drunk and diser-
derby recorded opposite her name Oh the
city docket about forty or fifty times,
anu this last time she was fined ten
dollars and csst and sent TO Jail.
