POLICE Court, YEsTERDAY-PoHce-Jus
tice White preSiding.-Some days ago DR..
j. G. Shelton appeared before the Police
Justice upon the complaint OF James d.
Browne to show cause why he should not
be fined for allowing water to leak from the
culvcrt on his premises and damaging the
wall Of the Virginia Opera-House, thereby
causing nuisance. The case was partially
heard and continued in order that the city
engineer might examine the premises. The
engineer, after a thorough examination,
found the wall in rear of the stage to be in
a dangerous condition. He accordingly re-
ported the fact to the Police Justice, who at
once issued summons against James D.
Browne to show cause why he should not
be fined for allowing the wall to remain in
dangerous condition.
The case was taken up again yesterday
morning. The Justice ordered DR.. Shelton
to abate the nuisance, and ordered Mr..
Browne to strengthen the wall. Immediate
measures will be taken to have the wall
made perfectly strong and safe.
Richard Evans {eolored). picked up on the
sidewalk Wednesday night drunk, was dis
