An unusual and interesting case in the
Potter county court at It's recent term was
a conviction under the statute of this
State relative to bdrratry. A barrator, ac-
coTdipg To this old statute, il one who in
cites petty quarTels aud lawsuits among
his neighbors, meddlesome person who
stiTs up unnecessary aud unwarranted liti
cation. The statute has for years beon
dead letter and the present is the first
time in many years that the law has been
put in force.
The barrator in this instance was George
W. King, who had become notorious for
involving himself aud bis neighbors in pet
ty lawsuits and was constantly stirring up
small litigatiOns in the community This
sort Of thing became a nuisance, and final
ly when patience ceased To be virtue the
people oi Shingle House sought relief The
old murty statute regarding barratry was
found, and it exactly fitted Kings case.
He was indicted at a recent term Of crimi-
nal court in Potter county for this ofense,
and case came out on trial before Jddge
0lmstead, at ConderspOrt. King was ad-
judged by the jury to be guilty Of barratry
as charged by the Indictment and the judge
sentenced him 10 pay fine Of $25 and all
costs Of prosecution which including at
tDrneys' fees, will amount to between $500
and 300.
