JUDGE HAGNER's new rule, governing
admission to his court, works very satisfac-
torily. 1t excludes the great bulk of court
loafers who hang about the police and other
courts here with no purpose but to satisfy
brutal curiosity, when they should be at
work, and to the discomfort of those who
have business there. Judge Hagner ex-
cludcs these loafers from his Criminal Court,
which is right
The violators of local laws before Judge
Smell to-day included Isaac Cox, John Me-
10y, George Smith and James Brady, who
were sent to the workhousc for fifteen days
each for disorderly conduct and profanity.
Robert Anderson got n similar sentence for
exposure of his person. Richard i. Bass
ford, homeless old tramp, was committed
to tho workhouse for ninety days, and
George White and James Donoghue were
sent down for indecent exposure.
