A dispatch from New Castle dated last
Thursday, said:
Probably the strangest question that
ever came up in any court in connection
with the present license law was decided
in the Lawrence County courts this morn
ing. At the License Court held last April
there was remonstrance against the ap
plication of Chris Kahrer After bitter
fight the application was refused. Some
weeks later, while the late Judge John
McMichael was on his death bed, the two
Associate Judges, without callipP tho at
tention of President Judge Hazen to the
matter, reopened the case and without Civ
ing the remonstrants an opportunity for a
hearing made an entry granting the Ii
cense
A tremendous rumpuS was raised, and
the fight was continued without let-up
until the next regular term of the License
Court, when the license was revoked
Meanwhile Kahrer had paid his $500 Ii
cense fee and had begun business. at the
June session his attorneys made formal
demand for a return of the money to the
County Treasurer. The Treasurer refused
to pay it except on an order from the
Court. Ever since then the matter has
been in contention. To-day Judge J Nor
man Martin decided he would make no
such order ON the County Treasurer, stat
ing that even if he saw fit to do SO his or
der would be no protection to the County
Treasurer, who might be sued by the
County Commissioners for the amount. II
will now devolve upon the complainant to
sue the County Commissioners. but the
best attorneys doubt whether he can make
case, go he is probably legally bunkoed
out of his $500.
Judge Burlington has decided that the
evidence of Cook Hall in the P. o. burglary
cases was competant, and has therefore re-
fused new trials to Coleman and Hughes.
Judge Burlington in bis opinion said that
by the act of 1860 it WAS provided that any
person having served the term for which
he was sentenced,i 1T should act as a pardon,
and was as effective as if he had been
pardoned by the Governor. This was
founded on the the principle that the Of
fender having suffered the punishment in
hicted should be restored to society with
out any further legal steps.
On Friday last, Sheriff Brown took
Messrs. Minninger, Hodges, and Griffin and
Mrs. Davidson TO the penitentiary, and
Messrs Cassidy, Hardesty, Manson and
Zimmerman to the workhouse. Richard
son and DeHaven were held in jail for
bearings III which they were principals OF
witnesses.
The will of Carl Heinrich Bachman OF
Jefferson twp, was probated and letters
granted to Louisa Bachman.
Jacob Spohn of Sammit twp, is in jail
on a charge of assault. He came to But
Ter last Friday and got drunk. and made a
| fool Of himself, and will Or ,bably have to
suffer for it. He is a married man with q
| large family, and is well thought of in his
neighborhood, but when whiskey is in, wit
is out.
