New Precedent in Court.

John Clark, of 419 New Bruins
wick avenue, was fined $40 by Re-
corder Kehoe last night on a disor-
derby conduct charge. Complaint
was made by Clark's father-in-law,
William Mullen, of AT Amboy ave-
nue.. Mullen presented q face In
court which looked as IL 1t had been
beaten all out of shape. Mullen
said 1t was the work Of his son-in-
law. He also declared the row had
taken place In his own house. Re-
corder Kehoe called attention to the
common understanding that a mans
home was his castle and said that
he would not act against this under
standing. He accordingly imposed
the fine.
Clark said that he was asked to
come owe to his father-in-law's
house to protect HIS mother, who, he
added, was being abused by Mullen.
The recorder held that this was no
excuse for beating Mullen, who was
in his own home at the time.
James Mullen, a son, asked If a
warrant could be sworn out against
his father for non-support. He said
that he had supported his fathers
family for years. The recorder said
that he would issue a warrant IL de-

that not only has the event been kept

fore much glass had been shattered,
