US brief but admirable sketch OF Cesar
Borgia, of whom, among others, he relates
this pleasant Incident:
A cardinal of the papal court who had been his
| bitlercst foe granted him an Interview at his
urgent solicitation. At the end thereof the pre-
late admitted his rcjudicc, and that Cesar was
one Of the Purcst and noblest gentlemen IN
Rome. The next evening he went to sup ut
the Borgia palace, and the persuasive prince
pressed an enyenomcd ring into his hand as he
baue good night. II was scarce an abrasion Of
the skin, but, "A month after, the cardinal
laid in the crypt of the ancient cathedral, and
the host was as suaye-and as pure-as ever.
Borg,a, we are further told, was

the Justice admitted that he did not administer an oath

simply against schmalcnberg In the Howard case the
Justice SAID he charged seventy cents for the rec

OF John Dobson. Odccr PETER testified that Lott TOLD
him TO give a receipt to Howard, which he did.
The receipt showed that Howard paid Pcifer $35,
which the latter swears he paid over to Lott
In reply to question by Counsellor Fleming, ns 10
whether he had certain papers which he had been sub.
pmnaed to produce Lott said he had not had time Ia
find them.
The Town Clerk, Augustus Lodge, testified that he
did have the bill OF Justice Lott in his possession
Lott had asked him for IL twice.
Justice Lott then testified that since the charges had
been preferred against HIM he mad rendered the $40
due the Howard TO the County Treasurer, ana
was ready to pay IT now.
For the prosecution County Treasurer CARL testified
that the $50 paid by Justice Lott, in 1875 all that
the books credited HIM with for the last three years
Daniel Hendrckson testified that bc did not meet tho
Justice tho Town HALL but the day after the warrant
was issued met him at Remsen's Hotel and told him
that he had settled the complaint Supervisor Brinck
erhon identified Lofts bill as the one audited by the
Town Board. Lott rendered his county bill 10 the
Board Of Supervisors and as the fines had not been rc
turned the Board refused to audit 1t until tho law hac

This closed the proceedings until next Thursday,
when the defence Justice Bennett will be heard
The impression is that Justice Lofts defence did not
better his case.
