A hearing was held Monday afternoon
| in the city Court room before Justice Il.
| w j. Hawkins in the case of the State
versus r.. f. Browncll, on the charge of
| maltreating horse. The suit was
brought by States Attorney Il. T.. Brown
on the complaint of President Waidron of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
| to Animals. There was a considerable
| gathering of spectators, attracted by the
mature of the case and by the fact that
| the respondent is a we'll known horsoman.
Mr. Brownol was represented by j. f..
Cushman. Several witnesses were exam
incd on both sides and at the close of the
hearing Justice Hawkins discharged the
respondent.
The incident upon which the case was
| based occurred on June ID. a horse which
MIR. Brownell was driving on Church street
threw herself and refused to get up. Mr..
Brownell then whipped her across the low
or part of the head The affair was watch
ed by Il considerable number of people
and a complaint to the Society for tho
Prevention of Cruelty to Anmals was
made in such manner that it now APP
pears the society was misled.

Some We're good witnesses for the de-
fence as for the prosecution. Some
thought the horse fell and others that she
threw herself.
Mr. BrownoIl when placed upon the
stand testified in substance as follows:
The horse in question is not a horse but
a mare She has been handled a little
over a wear. at different times and some-
times wants TO do AS she has a mind to
and if not allowed to do this will throw
herself. A few DAYS before this incident

State Laboratory to Act on Complaints

It would appear that the usefulness of

tinues to be more ana more appreciated as
its various possibilities become known to
health officers and others throughout the
State A letter recently received from Dr.
%. w. Peck, health officer at Winoosk
and other inquiries of a similar nature
have led Director DR.. J. II. Linsley to add
the analysis of liquors from the town
agencies to the many other uses of the
laboratory. DR. Pcck's letter is as fol-
lows:

j. ~. Linsley, NJ. D., Director State La
bocatory. Burlington, Vi
De1r Doctor:-l wish to submit TO YOU
samples of liquor taken from our town
liquor agency for analysis. l am not quite
certain whether this examination would
properly come within the scope of tine
State la laboratory work.
There is Il suspicion prevalent that the
liquor kept and sold by the different towns
to be used fos' sickness az the law con-
templates, is not always suitable for such
use by reason of its inferior qualities.
This may be unfounded, but it would seem
that the proper place to determine he
purity o" impurity OF such liquor is Mt the
State laboratory.
If you should decide to make this part
OF the work under your charge, | believe
that the absolute purity of the liquors
sold by this towns would be assured; for
if dealer and purchaser understood that
all such liquor would be subjected 10 an
analysis a the State laboratory, none but
III" purest and best liquors would be kept
and sold in the liquor agencies throughout
the State.
Hoping that YOU may be able TO add this
line of analysis to the splendid work now
being done under your direction at the
