have been seen in their flight and even fired
into by the officers, but without serious
damage. They have thrown of all OF their
outer clothing, are barefooted, and have
only thin covering on. Exposed to the
cold and hunger, creeping, crawling and
swimming through mud and water they

being taken TO capture them. Saturday

was rendered by Judge Mills, in the Police
Court ts.dsy, in the civil rights case Of Rev.
George Il. Smith (coloredl, Of Norwich,

a restaurant. The ground Of complaint was
that Bell had denied the ACCOMMODATIONS

enforce the criminal provisions OF the act
OF March !, 1875. The Court held that
under the common law an inn-keepCr Is

criminate against traveller on account Of
