Cauon, IN which he asserted that the law did not
require record OF conviction to be filed with the
clerk OF the General Sessions. and he wished to be
INFORMED by Judge DOnOhue whether 1t was neces-
sary. Mr. Dana said he had told Justice Morgan iG

OaDa said ne would like him to state for the In
formation OF police magistrates.
Judge Donohue-Dont you think so
Mr. Dana-I do.
Prisoners Counsel-The statute expressly re-
quireS IL.
Judge Donohue--I don't very well see what pro-
lection there can be or the defendant unless q

Among the cases OF assault and battery at the

In which John Pepper and John Fitzgerald were

appeared that Fitzgerald, who is a laborer, went
home and there found Pepper In company with a
strange young woman IN his apartments. Mrs.
Fitzgerald was lying IN the middle OF the floor with
an empty brandy bottle clutcned resOlutely in her
lett hand. Mr. Fitzgerald was very much aston
lshed at the presence OF strange people In his room
and ordered them out The female got out WI th
much expedition, but the man was rather tardy,
and when Mr.. Fitzgerald attempted to assist him
he was hammered on the nose with great effect as
hts two black eyes yesterday attested. Pepper,
who is rom Massachusetts, was sentenced to the
City Prison for thirty days.

The Oratorio of the Cremation, now being

We have before US a copy of the thirteenth

probably more than any other, the acknowl-
edged authority for the game in this country.
1t is concise and systematic, while it is COM
plete and exhaustive, and is somewhat origi-
nal in its treatment of the questions of double

this edition presents new diagram for setting
