 BOROUGH COURT.
 Associate Judge Turner did good thing last Thursday in giving term of six months to two tramps who broke window in front of Leitzeisen's bakery, quite evidently with purpose to get place in Holland jail for the cold season. They were free to say that they expected about a three months sentence, but the term given them will be a punishment, as 1t will extend over the spring and one half the summer. On Thurs day also Judge Risley found Robert Hamp- ston guilty of keeping place where intox. icants were sold unlawfully and imposed fine of $25 and costs. -
