though we admit the truth of all this,
the cry for aid, which Is carried with

he was tried by jury OF six men,
whose verdict was, guilty, and q fine
of six dollars and costs was assessed,
amounting to $3.50. The party gave
notice that he should appeal to the
higher court and gave the required
bond. So another case will be added
