costs. Della Dickey, a young woman,
was charged with being drunk and rev.
cling and was fined 81 and costs. Samuel
Halstead pleaded not guilty TO being drunk
then retracted and was fined ~ and costs.
The case against against Andrew Sher-
man, for cruelty to his horse by abandon
ment was next called, and he pleaded
guilty, for the reason that he is poor
man and could not fight the society. The
date of the case was Oct. 80, brought by
Agent Nickerson represented by Lycur-
gus Sayles, Esq, as counsel.
The case was referred. The next case was
against Noel Sanville, charged with
cruelty to a bulldog by causing fight
and severe injury to another dog.

testified TO the defendant putting his bull
