Wednesday, brought by the Norridge

Daniel Bowman of Fairfield for running
his toll on the evening of Jan. IL. Mr..

the evidence developed at the trial,
showed that he had no intention of run
ming his toll, but as he had quite an
amount of stock coming across the
bridge, thought he would wait until it
was all across and settle the whole bill
