Squire Arkle yesterday disposed oil
more cases Of varied nature than gen
orally falls to the lot OF one justice OIL
the peace during the course OF one day
-or Of one week, for that matter, The
larger portion OF the business was the
result Of the big raid made Saturday
night by Constsbles Anderson and
Lauchlin on state warrants. The scene
presented yesterday afternoon in the
jail, where the hearing took place, was
decidedly picturesque, il not pleasing.
The motley gathering Of nearly lOt
prisoners and witnesses Of all classes
white and black, as they assembled in
the corridors, gave that place a decid'
eddy lively appearance. The women
were attired in dresses OF u monde
script nature. While some wore silks
and .satins and diamonds, others wore
old Mother Hubbards and calico wrap.
pers. all appeared on an equality
however, with each other, and talked
over their sudden arrest regardless Of
class and color.
Some were much distressed and wor
ried over their condition, while others
only smiled and laughed over the
affair, and seemed to regard their arrest
as q nero triae. One redeeming feR
ture Of the hearing was the seclusion Of
the victims from the stares OF the pub
lie, who usually assemble at such cases.
No one but witnesses, lawyers and the
reporters were allowed in the jail dur
ing the hearing.
The first case called was George
