summoned was .. NJ. Patterson, who refusing
to give evidence, was sent to Jail for three days.
Mrs. Vests statement was that Brown enter
ed her premises aud took away from beneath o
piece of tin dead kitten having eight legs, the
value of which she estimated at $50. Brown
statement was that he heard a strange sort OF a
kitten had been born at Mrs. Vests and thai
upon going there aud finding the thing dead, be
had taken it away and carried it down to The
shooting gallery, the proprietors of which, he
believed, had taken it to Washington. Judg
ment was given against defendant for costs and
