carried before Justice Austin, charged with
laying poison in exposed places, it being sup,

about his place, that he had resorted to that
method Of Kidding himself of the obnoxious
animals. The report of the scattering OF poison
caused considerable excitement in the neigh

late hour in the uight when the Justice DIS
missed the complaint, there being not sufficient
