His case was also set for Tuesday morning.

The justice seemed to be of the opinion that the woman was as much to blame as the man. It was also intimated that the man is d little 'un sabe" and when his brother walked in and offered to pay the costs in the case as far as they had proceeded the case was dismissed.
