Court of Common Pleas-Cfvil Side
Judge Pickett.
There was trial of the habeas corpus
case in the common pleas court on Satur-
day before Judge Pickett. Thomas Green,
colored, has brought the case against his
wife to obtain possession of their child, a
boy Of about three years. Several weeks
ago Mrs. Green left her husband and went
to Collinsville to live with her brother.
Mr.. Green claims that he should have the
child because his wife deserted him. Mrs.
Green said she was forced to leave her
husband because of his cruel treatment to
her, and she does not regard him suita-
BILE person to have her child. Many wit
nesses were called to testify on both sides,
and the trial was continued until a late
hour in the afternoon. Judge Sheldon
appeared for the defendant and Judge
Blydenburgh for the plaintiff.
At o'clock the case was continued for
one week.
City Court - Criminal Side - Judse
Studley.
John Bowles, the jewelry pedder who
was arrested in Westville on Friday, was
in the city court on Saturday morning
charged with peddling without license.
His goods were principally watches and
chains.
The police could find no evidence that
he had stolen them or any Of them. But
he had offered them for sale just within
the city line, without having a peddlar's
license. He thought he was on the other
side, the safe side at Westville. But he
wasn't and so Policeman John keenan, ar
rested him.
Bowles pleaded not guilty. Then Officer
Keenan, testified that the fellow admitted
he had sold without license. Frederick
Roth, a shoemaker, corroborated the
officer by swearing that Bowles had sold
him-Roth-a yellow watch for 81. Gro
Ger Bradley, also of Westville, testified
that the accused tried to sell him watch,
in fact did sell him one. Bowles then
took the stand and admitted that he sold
some watches, but in palliation he pleaded
ignorance of the city ordinance.
"Where did you get those Watches"
asked City Attorney Daley.
"I bought them at Grand and Suffolk
streets, New York. The chains I bought
in East Broadway"
He was fined $40 and charged 1881
costs. He went to Jail.
Charles J. Burt, who was accused of
stealing SIS watch from Walter Judd,
pleaded guilty. He stole the watch last

Improve and Beautify the Cemetery.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The writer had occasion to visit the
cemetery in the pleasant village of North
Haven a few days since which is probably
as well kept as is usual in country towns,
1t is centrally and beautifully located, well
laid out, and yet there is lack of neat
ness and care, which to a stranger indicates
thoughtlessness and neglect.
For instance the drives on avenues are
nameless, which of itself is unfortunate
making it difficult to find desired loca-
ton.
Then there are several stones lying down
| and broken which should be righted or
replaced by others.
Would it not be well for all towns to
take such matters in hand and appropri-
ate fund for the improvement, beautify-
| ing and caring for cemeteries within their
| limits. Yours, STrLLMAN.
About the Claims Against the Bum
| nell & Scranton Estate.
1t is said that many of those who have

that because their claims appear in the
schedules filed by the firm in the probate
court they will get their dividend without
/ presenting their claims. This is not so.
i Every claim must be presented to the COM
missioners. Those whose names appear in
| the published list are not exempt from this
obligation. Those who do not present
their claim will lose their dividend.
