FAIRFIELD.

Appearing at the court house, Tuesday
John L. Donovan expressed a desire to
settle the case brought against him for
violation of the rules of the board of
health. He had engaged no counsel and
wished the matter settled as quickly and
quietly as possible. He thought that he
had not greatly violated the law, as he
had seen the permit granted James
O'Connor and had been led to expect that
there would be no trouble as long as no
complaints were made. Justice More
house interposed, here, that the case for
which Mr. Donovan had been arrested
was now on hand; must first be disposed
of; after that, some arrangement might
be made. When put to plea, Mr. Dono-
van pleaded guilty to bringing garbage
into town and offered the following, an
attested copy of that in the office of City
Clerk F. G. Mullins of Bridgeport:
At meeting of the Board of Health of the
town OF Fairfield, permission was given
James O'Connor to bring garbage from the
city of Bridgeport to his residence in the town
of Fairfield.--[B. B. Brothwell, president
board of health. Dated at Fairfield, January
II, 1891.
Both Justice Morehouse and Prosecu-
tor Glover took small notice of this. The
case was one in which justice had not
final jurisdiction and judgment of gull
ty would have simply bound Mr. Dono-
van over to the September term of the
members of the board of health, it was
agreed that, upon payment of a fine and
costs, the case should be settled. A fine
of 81, with costs of $22 II, was assessed
and paid. AS Mr. Donovan was unwilling
to make settlement by ceasing to bring
garbage into town, this disposes of SIM
ply the case in hand; another suit of the
same nature may be brought if he con-
tinues to Violate the regulation. In re-
gard to the ''permit" granted James
O'Connor, last January, President Broth
well and other members of the board of
health say that it is simply recommend
alton given Mr. O'Connor, when he wish
ed to bid on the collection of the Bridge

ton permitted the granting of special
permits by the board, but this power has
now been taken away. O'Connor failed
to get the contract and has not brought
garbage into the town.
The people of Southport, Fairfield and
vicinity can have butter fresh from the
Green's Farms creamery delivered at
their residences every week by mailing
postal to e. L. Gregory Southport, Conn.
John L. Bonney, who holds license
at Dooley's saloon, was arrested on COM
plant of Liquor Agent Bacon Wakeman
for carrying beer to the Italians at the
quarry He claimed that he had no knowl-
edge that it was in violation of his license.
He was tried before Justice G. Ell. Peck
of Stratford, Monday, and the case dis
missed on payment of So and costs.
Through his counsel, Judge Glover,
Patrick II. Dooley has made demand
upon r. Redfield & Sons for $4,000 dam
ages caused by breaking his arm, few
days ago; while walking in the dark, he
fell into the excavation made for the tun-
mel at the Murphy crossing. He says

kind and alleges criminal carelessness.
