The first case disposed Of was that of
John Horton for retailing whisky without
license. There were two cases against

cumstances Of the case and let him off
with fine OF $40.

In 1865, at Barbecue, John Stephenson
is charged with having maliciously wound

case under sdvi.ement and after short re-
tirement reported that they could not
agree. The Judge sent them hack to their
room and a verdict Of $500 fine and the
costs was finally agreed upon. We under
stand that at first eleven Of the jurors
were for sending him to the Penitentiary.

trouble, was sent to Jail again and fined
S25 on a charge Of carrying concealed
deadly weapons.

Gus day, tho Judge withdrew the warrant,
and main witnesses for the Commonwealth
not being present the case was continued.
