Considerable interest was manifested in
two Police Court trials last week. The first
was on complaint of Lewis Smith, watch
man in Critchett, Sibley d Co. S shoe fac
tory, against Leslie Robbins, for assault
and battery. Robbins lives on Pleasant
street, opposite the factory, and there has
been more or less trouble between him and
Smith. The evidence showed that in the
difficulty on which the warrant was issued,
they met i'll the street in front of the factory
and in the fight Robbins was knocked down
and cut about the head. Judge Rogers de-
cided, after hearing the testimony that Rob
bins made no assault and discharged the
respondent. Smith was then arraigned on
Il similar charge and it was shown that
while the parties We're discussing their diff
ferences, Smith struck Robbins on the head
with his watchman'S clock, nockng him
down, and then struck him two blows while
down. Smith was bound over III $500 to
appear at the Supreme Court
TROUBLE WITH SAILORS. The sch Liz
Zle b, Wiley, which loaded ice here and
was ready for sea May 18th, remained an
chored below until June Sd. Sch. Henry
Clausen, Jr, Capt. Torrey, bound from
Bangor for Philadelphia, remained anchor
| ed near her and both were detained by lack
of men. The Clausen had two men who
| claimed to be SICK but the City Physician
could lind nothing the matter with them, and
the captain refused to pay for the time they
were OH board, 7 days. He claimed they
We're well and able to work, and tried to
keep them on board for the voyage. They
began proceedings of libel to collect theil
| pay, and the captain compromised with
them and sent to Bangor for more men The
commissioner in Bangor replied that he had
none, but if he could get any would let the
, captain know. The captain then sent to
| Boston and men were sent, and also, on a
similar order, for the Wiley. Friday after
noon the Bangor commissioner sent two
men, shipped for Philadelphia, but did moi
notify the captain here until it was too late
to countermand the order. The men threat
ened to make trouble for the captain. They
were offered chances on other vessels but
refused. One subsequently, shipped on an
other vessel and the other returned to Ban
gor. The Wiley and the Clausen sailed
| Sunday morning.
