Of the county judge yesterday, was
decided by his honor this morning
and the result is a conviction of the
defendant with fine of $50 and costs
as the penalty. An appeal will he
taken to the highest court, to satisfy
defendants counsel of the business Of
the decision in the face Of the
law and the facts Perhaps
no case under this law has
ever been invested with more interest
by the parties thereto than this has,
and withal no little bitterness of feel
ing has attended its progress ON the
part of these who furnished the evil
dence aud managed the proceedings.
