 After spending several days investi- gating, Patrolman Philip Marine this morning succeeded in bringing into court a case of violation of the laws relative to delivering beer without the proper orders, John Mariello of New Britain, being put to plea before Jus tice A. H. Condell. The mans arrest was ordered by Grand Juror $. $. Gwlllim, whose action was sanctioned by Liquor Prosecutor B. w. filling oT New Britain. The court found the accused guilty and imposed a fine of S1o and costs, amounting tof S23.
 Acting on the complaint of a rep resentatlve of a local saloonkeeper, Officer Marine was ordered a few weeks ago to keep watch on certain out f-toWn peddlers who were sus- pected to selling beer from house to house in Plainville. The law requires that the sales be made in the place for which license is issued allowing de- llVering only when the teamster can snow credentials proving that he $ acting as the agent of the purchaser.
 Marlello fell into the hands of the authorities last Friday when he was making his rounds here. When he was hailed by Officer Marine he exhib- 1ted slips purporting to be bona fide orders. Nine of them were taken by the policeman and turned over to Prosecutor Gwillim. It was found that the orders while showing the date of the alleged sale were not perforated Tn the manner prescribed by law There were also some other techni- cal defects about them and the team ster's arrest was ordered.
 Attorney filling was here this morn ing to present the case for the state Mariello had no counsel and he seemed willing to admit that he was at fault although he claimed there was no intention on his part of breaking the law. He is employed by John Skritulsky, a license liquor dealer in New Britain.
 The auth critics did not believe that the circumstances warranted con- ACIIIIIIS tllo peer IdkCn aS 6N1OonCG and it was returned to Mariello
 Town May Send Bill
 The selectmen Ire considering the matter of sending bill to the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company for the expense the town incurred in re- moving from the streets stumps of trees that were killed by gas a few years ago. They selectm en paid out nearly S400 for this work and they feel the company should reimburse them.
 The matter has been put up to the committee appointed by the property owners over a year ago to pave the way for a collection of damages to the trees and it is understood it is to be taken up with Judge w. F. Hen ney of Hartford, who represented the live taxpayers whose cases were tried recently in the superior court.
 Lawyers have advised the select men that besides having a claim for the cost of rem owing the stumps, the town has an action against the com pany for the damage caused to the highways as a result of the loss of trees.
 There are a number of individual claims against the company yet to be settled and the selectmen will prob- ably work in conjunction with the property owners in their attempts to raid the Tramway companys treas ury
 Makes Peace With Officer.
 The telephone company has made its peace with Police Officer Marine for designating his place of residence in the telephone directory as "Pov- erty Hill,' and when the next phone book is issued it will show the officer to be living on West Main street. The section in which Officer Marine lives has often been called Poverty Hill, a designation not at all pleas ing to people living there. The name, however, was never formally recog- nized until the policeman had a tele- phone installed in his house, the com pany using the nickname in it's di- rectory.
