Dr Ward, of PIggery Notoriety, in the
 Hands of the Law.
 While Officer William Brickel was patrolling his beat in Brooklyn Satur- day night he observed three young fel- lows taking some brooms from a rack in front of M. Guilfolle's store. He gave them chase and captured Patrick Gavin and Edward Kenney. This morning both denied that they were stealing. The brooms were thrown at them by the third one of the party who had escaped. They did not know his name. Gavin was drunk when arrested and he was fined $5 and costs for theft and the same for drunkenness. Judge Root fined Kenny 8 and costs. An ap- peal was taken in his case.
 Officer John Brickel observed a man at the lower end of South Main street yesterday jostling people off the side walk. He placed the offender under arrest. The man was quite drunk and strongly resisted the officer until Officer John Sullivan came to his assistance. A citizen who had been assisting Officer Brickel skipped among the crowd to be Michael Lalley. He was given thirty days for drunkenness and S5 and costs for resistance.
 A long type written complaint was read charging Dr c. Art Ward with maintaining a nuisance after being no. tified to abate it by the board of health. Ward asked to examine the complaint and then addressing the court said: sIi the court please, the peculiar circum. stances surrounding this case in regard to counsel, etc, necessitate as far as ] can see, an adjournment. I would like l to know whether it Is necessary to plead until I consult counsel" Attorney Kellogg, who was prosecuting the case said he had no objections. Judge Root would not require Ward to enter a plea Ward then asked to have tho case ad iourned until next Saturday. Judge Root said he thought it would bt more advisable for Judge Bradstreet tc hear the case as he himself was a mem Der of the board of health. Attorney Kellogg had no objection to having tho case adjourned until Saturday provided that Ward should then be ready to gC ahead. Judge Root then adjourned ths case until Saturday.
