COMMON PLEAS COURT.

about dozen cases were disposed of in the criminal side of the common pleas court which came in yesterday with Judge Isaac Wolfe on the bench. The cases were mainly those which have been pending for some months with the offenders out on probation under the guidance of Probation Officer Leyerzaph MT. Leyerzaph reported to the court in every instance that his proteges, some of them much older than himself, were doing very good and the charges against them were nolled therefore.
 At the afternoon session Morris Le- shinsky and Louis Lazarus, two local junk dealers, pleaded guilty to buying goods from minors. Their arrest came about because the junk they bought was stolen. Leshinsky was fined $25 and Lazarus $50 and costs in both cases were remitted. With the opening of court to-day the trials of those who are to contest their cases will be start ed. Sheriff Hugo and his deputies yes terday summoned talesmen from which a jury for the term will be drawn. About fifty cases remain on the docket but 1t is expected that many of them will be settled before the term closes. The term will undoubtedly last the remainder of the month The morning docket yesterday was as follows:
 John Wantug of Derby, charged with drunkenness on a Sunday and given thirty days in the Derby court, got off with s1 and costs. Nolles were en- tered in all the other cases which were called as follows;
 John White, charged with breach of the peace against his wife Margaret, who got thirty days in Branford, but has been doing right of late under the probation officer, Raffeale Dicenso, charged with non-support, had his case nolled because he is in jail for three wears for a more serious offense.
 Joseph H. O'Beirne, charged with breach of the peace against his wife, had been doing right under the care of the probation officer, and was pay ing for the support of her and six children regularly, and also got off,
 John c. Greene, charged with non- support, was also paying up and his case was nolled, as was that of Don- ald Dingwall, charged with breach of the peace against his wife.
 Jacob Alderman, the policy player, who has been under years probation also, was living without the aid of the slips and was let go. So was John H. Caldwell, charged with breach of the peace against his wife.
 The most amusing case of all was that of Raymond C. White (colored), who was charged with theft. He is a 11-year-old boy, and according to the probation officer, has been acting as one of the fierce Gulahs from Africa at the White City all summer. Judge Wolfe said that that was punishment enough, and as he was doing right, he was let go.
 The Rev. John H. Pretsbury's case of non-support was nolled because he was paying his wife as the court or dered The case of embezzlement against Adolph Tucker, a former col lector for a credit clothing house, wa' nolled because there was no evidence to prove the charge, and James Gold en, who cut painters ropes because they obstructed his doorway, went owe until later.
