A peculiar and novel case has occupied
the attention of Police Justice Roberts yes
terday and to-day. It seems a certain fami-
ly purchased q cooking stove from a hard
ware merchant in this city some seven or
eight months ago, which did not give entire
satisfaction, and the lady who purchased
the stove has has been complaining of its
poor qualities ever since she bought it.
Yesterday her patience was exhausted with
trying to make the stove do good work.
Her bread was burned to a crisp, and alto
gether it looked bad for the hardware man,
when she entered his store with the loaves
of bread under her arm and demanded
reparation. This was more than the hard
ware man could bear. and it is asserted by
%bystanders, that he used some very forcible
language with which to express his feelings
of regret that the stoye did not turn out as
he had represented it. The burnt bread, he
thought, was the fault of care~lessness, in not
out the stove occasionally, but she
couldn't see it in that way. His manner
became more forcible and hers was about
the same, but it seems she thought she
was threatened and abused too much.
and consequently swore out a warrant,
the hardware man for breaking the
the peace, who was arrested, plead guilty
and paid his fine. After returning to his
place of business he began to think over
the matter, and wondered why he had to
pay a fine for breaking the peace, when the
woman in question had been doing the same
hing. After thinking the matter over for
some time, he concluded that he would turn
The tables on her, and accordingly had her
for breaking the peace, but she
stood trial, and was fined by Justice Rob-
erts, and the case has been appealed 10 the
court. 1t seems both parties were
to blame, and under the city ordi-
nances, the city justice could do no more
han fine both parties, but the validity Of
his decision is a question which the higher
courts will now decide.
