 Court of Common Pleas Criminal
 Side Judge Demfng.
 The first case called in this court yester- day was that of William Knoth, saloon keeper at 154 Franklin street, who was charged with selling liquor to Annie Schmidt, minor, last fall. He was fined $25 and costs in the lower court and ap- pealed his case. Yesterday the case was nolled upon Knoth paying the $25 costs.
 The case of William Applegate of Bran ford was stricken from the docket upon motion of Attorney w. A. Wright, who appeared for Applegate, owing to the care lessness of Justice Zink of Branford in making out his record, as the documents sent to the higher court failed to state who was fined or what was done with Apple gate. Justice Zink had neglected to fill out the printed form with the name of the defendant. Judge Deming announced that no justice fees would be paid to Justice Zink in the case. This means loss of $4 or $5 to the doctor.
 The case against Edward R. Robatz, the colored swindler, was next taken up Robatz pleaded not guilty to the charge of ~agrancy and his case was continued until the September term of the court, but in the afternoon he decided to plead guilty and accordingly did so.

 Milford.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Aug. 4.-The citizens of Milford have become much aroused by the late disturb ances of the peace on account of the large crowds of roughs who flock to the shore resorts on Sundays, and who, towards evening, drive furiously through the viii lage, shouting their debauching songs, or else too drunk to walk, lay upon the streets to sleep off their intoxication. The selectmen issued notices to iverymen and others that they would be held responsi- ble for breach of the peace occasioned- by noisy and fast driving. The prosecuting attorney and constables were pressed to do their duty, and several special officers were put on duty to keep the peace. Nine persons were arrested for drunkenness and seven sent to jail, and during the month seventeen persons were tried for violation of the liquor law and all found guilty and fined as by law directed, so that after all costs were paid four hundred and fifty dollars was the net amount paid into the town treasury in July.
 On last Thursday and Friday three cases of Sunday violation cost the liquor deal CTS $75.25 each. The effect of the large fines imposed by Judge North showed it. self last Sabbath. Not an open saloon at the shore was found, no drunks, no fast driving, no arrests. Good for Milford order.)
