HoRATio BOLSTER, THE BRurE.-The noto.
rious bruiser, Horatio Bolster, was before
Justice CLARK yesterday on the charge Of
breaking up the furniture In the house OF his
mistress, q woman named Annie Merwin, and
maltreating her. It appears that some days
ago the woman, who Is In the last stages Of
consumption, made a will bequeathing all her
personal effects to this bruiser. He, itching
to obtain possession thereof, and not liking
the idea OF waiting until nature relieved the
poor unfortunate from her suherings, en-
deavored to hasten her end by maltresting her
and smashing things about the house generally.
The Justice, after taking the evidence In the
case, fined Bolster " for disorderly conduct
and com mitted him In default OF security to
keep the peace, 1t IL 10 be hoped that there
can be found no respectable citizen who will
become bondsmau for such degraded brute as
Bolster would seem from his actions TO have
become.
