 A BUNCH OF OFFENDERS.-Five prisoners occupied the dock of the police court yesterday afternoon when Justice Burnett called the court to order. The first was a John Doe white man. who claimed that he had recently arrived from Imperial. The testimony showed that he had indulged too freely in liquor, had addressed indecent re- marks to respectable women, had struck a tamale vender named Barrett in the mouth with his fist and had resisted the officers when he was plac- ed under arrest. In explaining his waywardness, the prisoner said that when he was a small boy he had re- ceived a blow on the head which caus- ed him to become practically crazy whenever he indulged in liquor When he committed the offenses charged against him in this city, he said, he did not know what he was doing. In answer to this ingenious explanation Justice Burnett replied that if he had received. the injury when a boy, he should by this time know better than to imbbe- strong drink. He was sen fenced to spend forty days in jail. The second offender was a vagrant and he was sent to jail for twenty days. Three persons CndTSeu N4lA uIuilhSHHtSS were given the alternative of spending five days in jail or paying fines of 8 each. One paid the fine and the others went to jail.
