 Common Pleas sCourt-Criminal Side Judge Deming.
 The first druggist to meet the charges made by Judge Blydenburgh's "spotters' against them came up for trial yesterday. Elisha Hewitt of 744 Chapel street was charged with selling a half pint of liquor to Walter Wynkoop, aged fourteen, on No vember 23. Wynkoop testified that he had bought half pint of cider brandy on the evening of the 23d of November, and his mother testified that he was under age. McGuire, former spotter of Blyden- burgh's, but who for the last eight days has only tended his employers horses, swore that he went with Wynkoop and stood outside the door while the latter got the brandy.
 Mr.Hewitt offered in defense that he was always at home from to p. m. and that 1 he had instructed his clerks not to sell any l liquor to persons who had been drinking, | or to minors. The five clerks in MT. Hew- its store swore that they had no recollec- tion of ever selling whiskey to minors and that they had been particularly instructed | by their employer against making sales to | such.
 After the arguments of the lawyers the court adjourned.
