broken last week by two young men from

before Squire Emory who imposed a light
fine Being let off so easily they were
undaunted and were apparently bent on
defying tie law BY this time a crowd of
people had gathered and witnessed the
same reckless manner of driving Con-
stable Donovan was ordered to arrest one
of the men again. which he did, and a
heavier fine imposed Even this seemingly
had but little effect on the fellow and an
other arrest was ordered, but the men had
left town. Friday he returned and paid the
fiue, as they pleaded penitence, and this be-
ing their first offence of the kind, Squire
Emory was very lenient The sum Of the
