JUSTICES COURTS.

peace; A. j. ThorD, constable.
The case of Allen VS.. Weed s.
| Frercb, in this court, presents
some features of interest. A police
man, acting under the provisions of
| city ordinances, took ups young fl
ley which was running at isss:ff-sssve with
in the city limits. There being no
city pound, the animal was placsd in
the livery stable of Weed & French,
with the statement that the owner,
when found, would pay for its feed.
After two or three months. the
owner. was found, but refused to pay
for its livery. Mr.. Weed being the
successor Of Weed & French, notified
the owner that unless the livery bill
was paid, the filley would be sold for
the bill, under the livery stable-keep-
er's lien law. After the animal had
remained there over a hundred days,
and due notice of sale had been given
to the owner, it was sold and bid in by
Mr.. Weed, for $50. his livery bill be-
ing SOL. The owner then brings suit
to recover the animal, or its value. al
legiDg it to b. a Thoroughbred, rock
bottomed flley," worth, at least, $3.50,
while Weed sets upa claim for 1871,
as balance due him on account, being
the difference between his livery bill
and what the filley sold for.
The case puzzled the jury all Mon-
day night, resulted in a mistrial, and
was SET de novo for another hear
ing, on the second Monday in Noyem-
Der.
