interest before him in the Police Court

ductor S. @. Meadows. Mr. Wood board
ed the car, and in getting off his ticket
from the rest tore it, He claimed how
ever. that the ticket was good, and pre-
sented IL in payment OF his fare. Inc
conductor said it was not good, and the
two argued the question for little while.
when Conductor Meadows told Mr.. Wood
that IL he did not give him another fare
he would put him off. Mr.. Wood declined
to pay his fare again, and was forcibly
elected. He then procured a warrant,
charging Meadows with using force in
putting him off the car, and with assault
and battery. Mayor Maurice took the
ground that the ticket was good, and
fined Meadows s. for the assault on the
passenger.
Mr.. w. r. Nelson appeared before the

stable without the necessary license. He
