Probate Court, criminal term. has been
in session this week. In the case Of what
is called the Springfield trouble, wherein
FIVE men attacked literary meeting,
which was being held In barn, three
OF the offenders we're let of and two n'
them, Stewart and Rollins, we're fined $40
and costs each. This they we're unable to
pay, and were accordingly committed by
the Judge. The Auditor, however, used
the power vested in him and discharged
the prisoners before they had been in
jail four hours. His course is freely con.
demned on all sides, as It is thought the
proper attempt was not made to collect
the fines and costs, thus putting the county
into S152 costs.
