ColoRED HoNEsTY-Some months ago
colored man by the name of J. c. Jackson
was fined in the Police Court in this city the
sum of $50 Tor battery upon another man of
his color. After judgment it was represented
to the Court that If the defendant was al
lowed to 90 out and earn the money, he

the defendants honesty, allowed him to 60
It appears that the trust was not misplaced,
for yesterday = package Of coin-S20-was
received, which the defendant sent from

instance Of integrity for the class that have
dealings in the Police Court. II is safe TO
