brought before the Police Court this
morning charged wi b an assault on
Officers Sampson. The latter, 1t will
be emembered, was summoned to ap.
pear last Saturday for an assault on
Wilkins, and was fined s. by his honor.
The officer subsequently, procured a
warrant for the arrest OF Wilkins,
charging him with assault. Mr.. II. n.
Garner represented the defendant and
Mr.. Robinson Moncure appeared for
Officer Sampson. According to the
officers statement, wilkins, who had
been drinking, had fallen asleep last
Monday night on the steps leading into
a saloon at GibbOn and PITT streets, and
the proprietor had requested Mr.. SamP-
son TO remove the darkey. The latter
upon being awakened, used a vile
epithet and struck at the officer, and the
latter was compelled to use his baton.
After several witnesses had been examin-
ed, wilkins took the stand. He said
he remembered sitting on the step, but
was OblviOus to what followed. and
could not say positively who struck him
on the head. Justice Cation dismissed
the charge of assault preferred by Officer
Sampson, saying 1t vas common &C.
currence for officers to strike refractory
persons while engaged in making ar
rests, and fined wilkins So for being
drunk on the street and creating a dis

Annu.ED DISMISSED.

Az was stated in the Gazette, DR.. E.
A. Glrman, health officer, on Friday
was oot6ed that a case OF smallpox ex'
listed 10 the BrsddOek House, and, by
direction of the doctor, cards announcing
that the building Is quarsntined were
placed on the doors. A number OF the
inmates OF the house were vscclDated
and attempts made to perform the oper-
alton upon all w. w. Simpson, pro-
prietor. however, refused to be vaccinated
or to allow the members Of his family to
take the benefit of the supposed safe
guard. He also refused to obey the
msndste of the health officer when told
he must close the stores conducted by
him on the Fairfax street part of the
building.
This morning Simpson opened his
stores as usual, aud WAS Immediately
cited By Officer Roberts to appear 10 the
Police Court st 9 O'Clock to show cause
why he should not be fined for refusing
70 observe the health laws Of the state
The accused, who was represented by
Mr.. Robinson Moncure, appeared at the
appointed hour, when DIR. German made
a statement in reference TO the discovery
of the case OF smallpox, the vaccination
that followed and the refusal Of Simp-
son to allow himself or members OF his
family to be vaecinstsd, or to close the
stores conducted by him.
Simpson in his statement said that
while the BrsddOck House is supposed
20 be guaranteed, the occupants, num-
beriug about 100, most of whom rent
rooms by the month, are permitted to 90
10 aud fro with ease, while he was Or
dered 10 close his place for period of
Fl teen days because he would not submit
10 vaccination. He also asserted that
the .iient, a woman, is segregated on
the Ihird floor Of the house, and be, of
conrse, does not come ia contact with
her. Besides all this, Simpson said he
had no faith in vaccination, 10 fact he
was afraid to undergo the operation him'
self or to allow it to be performed on
members of his family, believing that
vaccination sometimes expenditures
blood poisoning. Should an eft ciural
quarantine be placed upon the BrsddOck
House, he said, he would close bis stores.
Justice Cation, in summing up the
case, said the state Law does not make
vaccination compulsory. 1t did forbid
the passing from city to city OF injected
persons, or such as are liable to spread
contagious diseases. He therefore dis
missed Simpson.
