A Polish row from Centralia was
next heard. The Court in charging
the jury said that parties who get in
toxicated and are injured have no
| right to come into court and redress
| their grievances. In cases like this it
is wrong that the time of the court is
occupied in their hearing. Were
there any evidence in this case to
show that the constable, or justice of
the peace encouraged this prosecu-
ton, we say to you that you have a
right to put the costs upon the power
behind the throne. The jury return
ed verdict of not guilty and that
each party pay one half the costs.
