one of the time-honored customs of the
prisoners to hold a moot court upon the
arrival of a new culprit. The usual judg-
ment of this court is a fine of so many
cents and if that is not paid the prison
er is given so many stripes. which is gen
orally equal TO the amount of the fine
Upon the arrival of Mr.. Olier tn court
was declared to be in session and without
much adoo, the court assessed the fine
at 60 cents or sixty lashes. Upon the gen
tieman refusing 10 hquidate, the court
ordered the administering of the stripes
This raised the ire of Mr.. Oller and he
proceeded TO back off into a corner and
there bluffed off the whole crowd II is
needless ia say that court was then ad-
ioTned.
