The writer has every respect for the
officers of our borough court. but when
three young men such as those arrested by
its officers, charged with cruelty to an AMI.
NAL, are brought into court, there should
be something to back up the charge in the
shape of a complainant. who, if he has i'm
posed upon the officers of the court, should
be compelled to pay all costs. and not have
the same paid by the borough. We have
passed the time when a grand juror would
sign a complaint of any kind to get the al
mighty dollar, or when constables and JUS
tees put up jobs and tried cases to get the
costs out of the town These parties claim
that their arrest was gotten up by two men
out OF spite, and there are goodly number
who are deslrous of hearing the evidence
on Friday.
