The case OF Washington Simons VS. Jas
E. Beach, was then taken up. The plain.
tiff claimed damages to growing crops
&c, and to horses and cattle, caused by
breschy and unruly cattle being pastur.
ed by defendant on his farm, which ad.
joins plaintiffs farm in Vernon that the
defendant was bound 70 keep up and in
good repair apsrtition fence, but neglect
ing to do so, the cattle broke over into
plaintiffs field and did the mischief COM
planned OF. Defence, that defend ant was
not bound to keep the fence in repair,
but that it wa plaintiffs dutyto keep up
the fence /; that the land where the wrongs
complained of were committed, if any
were committed, was not the land OF the
plaintiff; that no such wrongs wero COM
mitted, but if any were so committed,
they we're the result of plaintiffs own
negligence. The case was closely con-
tested by Fuller & Moses for plaintiff,
and Judge Sutlif for defendant, and re-
suited in a verdict for the plaintiff of $50.
Sarah whitsel VS. Marshall Latin and
others, was a suit brought to recover
damages for the alleged wrongful entry,
by the defendants, upon premises in
Greene, owned in part by plaintiff, and
the forcible dispossession Of plaintiff and
her household goods, with violence to
person and property, greatly to her inju-
~, bodily and otherwise. Defence, that
the acts were committed under the au-
thority of a writ of restitution issued by
a Justice upon = Judgment in a forcible
entry and detainer suit, one of the de-
PENDANTS being the Constable 10 whom
the writ was issued. NJ. Sutlif appeared
for plaintiff, and F. E. Hutchins for de-
PENDANTS. Verdict Saturday for plaintiff,
s212.5O.
On Saturday the case Of David d. Da-
Wis VS. d. A. G.. Miner, was tried to ju-
~. This was a malpractice cas- from
Niles. Plaintiff fell from a building, in
August, 1868, sustaining severe injury to
his left wrist in the breaking of one or
more bones, and was attended, profess
sionally, by the defendant. 1t appeared
from the evidence that the plaintiff has
had but little, ifany use Of his wrist and
hand since the accident, and being a poor
man, has suffered very decided damage
from its loss, and while the jury could
not but feel sympathy for the old man in
MS crippled condition, there was not suf-
fcient evidence showing negligence on
the part Of defendant to warrant o YER
iict for plaintiff, and the jury seemed to
have no difficulty in agreeing upon ver-
iict for the defendant. NJ. D. Sanderson
appeared for plaintiff, and Jones and F.
Hutchins for defendant.
Quite a number Of divorce cases were
Of Saturday afternoon. Susan
Weir obtained a bill from Henry on
'harge ofadultery. Bashey Anthony was

Eell was divorced from Aurelius c., be-
ause Of his many delinquencies, esPe-

Quite a number OF minor criminal

eny. Plea, guilty. Sentence, six days
d jail on bread and water, to pay costs,
nd return tWo-fold of the value OF the
property stolen. A large number Of
.uor cases were disposed of.
On Monday the criminal business was
ommenced upon in real earnest. The
.rst trial was that of Ohio vs. John Kane,
or stealing some forty odd dollars from
fellow Welshman, At Church Hill, some
ime since. Hexss vigorously defended
Fuller q Moses, but the jury seemed !
} think he stole the money, and brought
l a verdict of guilty. !
Just before the trial OF this case was I
ltered upon, switness received a lesson l
.hich will probably prove a warning to !
i'm, and should serve a an admonition
others. The man was the main wit :
sss for the State in the Kane case, with =
1t whose presence Mr.. Stull thoughthe
,uId not safely 60 to trial. The witness
ID hoen in the court Dol during the !
but when wanted was incon-
absent. The Court waited for {
time, SO long indeed that Judge
TITLES patience was about exhausted, /,
hen the tardy witness walked in. He
as inquired Of as to the cause Of his abb
nee, and not being able to give q salts
Glory reason, was promptly fined $50.
nat man will probably remember that
g process OF Judge TUTTLE's court A.,
mot be slighted or disregarded.
The next ease tried was that Of Ohio
= Bostwick Parker, charged with steal
sum Of money, about SIS, from
q person Of J. W. Heston, at Plat & q
mmons' restaurant a few weeks since. =
ne trial lasted until about midnight and fl
suited in a verdict Of guilty. Stull r
