For This Reprehensible Offence John
Bennett Is Properly Punished.

community. has been committed to jail
in default of q fine and bond imposed
10y Justice l.. ?. Furness. John is an
Old offender and has the reputation OF
being a bad man when he gets start
ed. For his scrapping propensity he
spent a part of last winter in Jail. and
stands a good chance of spending all
this one in the cosy quarters of the
new prison.
John got his dander up n few nights
ago and vented it by pounding one Of
his lady acquaintance in a most I'M
friendly fashion. A warrant was sworn
out for him and he was arraigned be-
fore Squire Furness, the ineXOrable
dispenser OF justice in Phoebus. In
his opinion, which is generally 4 good
ere, John was adjudged guilty Of the
offence charged and was fined $40 and
costs. the whole bin aggregating s14.45.
Furthermore. the Justice deemed it wise
to curb Johns belligerent tendencies
and required an armistice for a period
of three months, with 500 bond as
a guarantee 1t being too late to plead
Involuntary bankruptcy. John was
committed to the custody Of the Sheriff
and enabled to sample the comforts of
the new jail He will be there detained
for three months unless he can give
