A SocKDoLoGER Justice Davis
yesterday inflicted a sentence upon Nat.
Furst. who pleaded guilty to an assault
and battery on q woman of the
town named Lena Brown, which
will give that class Of unfortunate crea-
lures greater security hereafter from
physical abuse. The Judge sentenced
the defendant to pay a fine of 800, with
costs $40. and in default of which TO be
confined in the county Jail, until the
whole is liqnidated, at the rate of 81. 90
per day. The courtroom was crowded
with spectators, as it always is when a
case promises to be sensational. But
the pleading Of the defendant obviated
a trial which promised some salacious
developments. Last evening the court
heard argument of counsel on motion
for a new trial.
