the arguments for the state by Mr.. Loud,
and for the defendant by Mr.. Middle

fact that the state had not made a thor
ough case. he would discharge the de-
PENDANT. Frederick Schmidt, and also
stated that should anyone be convicted
OF fence cutting. he would impose the
full penalty Of the law.
After a few minutes for breathing

Nathan Medley and Addison Taylor. the
proprietors of the saloon on Park street,
adjoining the hose house. who were &C.
cused Of permitting minors to visit their
place of business. Both gentlemen are
colored. and appeared quite nervous.
After hearing the complaint read, as
well as the law upon the subject, and a
statement by one Of the members Of the

guilty. The justice coolly informed them
that it had been his intention while he
was laboring under the heat of passion

that he was ready to settle on the spot
without waiting until this morning to
plead. In view of his willingness to
plead guilty TO the change Of permit

further prospect Of an immediate settle

of the male inhabitants OF the west wear
Neglegee shirts. The present style Of
this class of clothing having the advan-
