TuEL1oUOR PROS sECUTION.

THE LIQUOR PROSECUTION.
 Monday, the liquor case was heard by Justice Henry A. Gilbert in the ancient Town hall, and attracted quite large number of our citizens, not few of whom were witnesses. The charge involved two, Matthew McManus, as principal manager, and William Lyon as assistant, in place where liquors were illegally sold. The claim of the defence was, that there was club called the Putnam, with the state, however, could not find any sort of organization, as the State re- quired. In fact not one witness for the defence could name who the off1- cers of the club were, nor had they ever attended a meeting of the club where business of the club was enact- ed. After the evidence was nearly completed, William Roe, possibly Richard Roe," took the stand, and it soon developed that MT Roe was a de- tective, and member of the State police. When the detective finished, Prosecutor Shaw of Bridgeport argued in behalf of a conviction, alleging that the evidence demonstrated that there had been several instances Of the iile' gal sale of intoxicating liquors. At torney Gables of Danbury, in behalf of the defendants, labored with much zeal to show that there was regular ly organized club doing business under l a state charter, and asked for the dis charges ot the defendants, or if found guilty that a small fine be imposed. Justice Gilbert, however, fined MT Mo Manus, $50 and cost and MT Lyon $25 and cost. The defendants appealed, and bonds given at $2OO. Whatever the outcome may be, there is one thing that is certain that the place was run so quietly and orderly that not few persons, (not visitors to the place, had any knowledge that there was such a club in town; yet according to the law such a place is nuisance.
