COURT PROCEEDINGS.
continued from pace nine.
Daley, one of the defendants who
said his home was in Elmira, testified
that he met Gaughan on the rail road
and that he told him there was some
beer in the woods, that he should go
there and wait for him. That subse
quently he met Varnish, who said he
lived at Mt. Joy, and told him about
it, and together they went and drank
some of the beer. Varnish testified to
substantially the same thing.
The other defendant, Joseph Har
rigan, who gave his home as Pittston,
said that he was coming along the
railroad, and seeing a smoke in the
brush, went to it and found there the
two defendants asleep beside the beer.
He drank some of it, and the next
thinp he knew they were all arrested
and in the station house at Centralia.
Lawrence Gaughen testified that he
never saw the other defendants until
he met them in the county jail. That
he stole the beer and that the defend
ants had nothing to do with it.
After able argument by the counsel
and an impartial charge to the jury by
the Court, the case was given to them.
The next case called was the Com
monwealth vs. Tames Hile of Frank
lin township, who was charged with
removing fences, &c. A great deal of
time was consumed in the trial of the
cause, more than the importance of
tlie case warranted. The title to land
was questioned and the principal evi
dence was that given by the survey
ors. District Attorney Hanly had
charge of the prosecution, whilst the
interest of the defendant was taken
care of by W. H. Rhawn.
At the commencement of the trial
a motion was made by counsel for the
defendant to quash the indictment on
tne grounds that tne intormation was
made under the Act of Assembly of
1SC0, charging removal of trees, and
the indictment charged the removal of
fences under the Act of 1865. The
Court overruled the motion and the
trial proceeded, which resulted in the
jury finding the defendant not guilty,
but that he pay one half the costs, and
the prosecutor Sylvester Hower, the
other half.

Commonwealth vs. C. B. Kelchner
Assault and battery. The defendant
in this case was a mere boy and had
some difficulty with his father who
lives in Light Street. It was the opin
ion of a great many of the spectators
that this, like many other cases had
better be settled at home than in the
courts. The boy plead guilty, and
tne court, alter giving him some
wholesome advice, suspended sentence
and permitted him to return with his
parents. He was directed to pay the
costs.

Commonwealth vs. George Carver.
In this case the defendant, who is a
constable in Mid Valley, Conyngham
rownsnip, was cnarged by Frank Nov
rosky, a rounder, with having com
nnucu an assault and Dattery uoon
hira. It appeared that the prosecutor
naa caused tne arrest of a certain
parjy, charging them with having com
mitted an assault and battery unon
im. The Justice dismissed the care
and put the costs upon the prosecutor,
and it was contended by the Common
wealth that in attempting to collect
his fees he put him under arrest
and culTcd him, i:c. As the piose-
cutor could not understand, nor speak
the English language, an interpreter
had to be used, and, as a consequence,
the case proceeded slowly. The jury
returned a verdict finding the defend
ant guilty.

in this case was charged with having
committed an assault and battery upon
conductor on a passenger train on
the D. L. & W. Railroad. The de
fendant was riding upon the train from
this place to Catawissa, and when the
conductor came through the cars and
demanded the tickets he was appar
ently asleep. He was aroused, and
became very angry, and struck him,
for which this action was brought.
The jury returned a verdict finding
the defendant guilty.
Commonwealth vs. Miles Fry, surety
of the peace. This case arose over a
difficulty between the defendant and
oseph Eck, who are neighbors, and
reside in Kalston s addition to Blooms
burg. It turned out that there was
not a great deal in it, and the Court,
after hearing the story, discharged the
defendant and ordered that each party
pay their own witnesses and one-half
of the record costs.
Thus ended the first week of Court.

Clyde Chamberlain vs. Joseph M.
Lilly. This case comes from Berwick
and the facts developed were about
as follows : April of 1802 the plaint
iff who had been learning telegraphing
in the rail road office of the D. L. &
V. Rail Road Company at the above
named place was appointed to a posi
tion in the car service. He alleged
that the defendant who was the
general agent for the company said
iuu nicy wuum oniy pay $25 per
monia ior mc worn. That about the
middle of the month he was shown
by the defendant a telegram purport
ing to come Irom Mr. Fowler, Supt
of the road saying that his pay would
uc 4o per montn, ot which sum he
was ii pay me oeiendant $15 per
month. That on the faith of this, he
did so, and continued doing so, for
six months. That he was then in
formed by the defendant that here
atter he would be obhned to pav him
only $10 per month, which he did for
five months. He was then informed
that he need pay only $5 per month
which he did for several months. That !
after a time he discovered that no
such order had ever been sent bv Mr.
rowlerand this action is brought to
recover the money he paid the defend
ant. Counsel for the defendant
moved for a compulsory non suit fur
the reason that the plaintiff agreed to
woric ior $ 25 per month, which sum
he had received. The court over
rulled the motion. The defense was
simply a denial of the testimony offer
ed by tne plaintifi. Joseph M. Lilly
the defendant testified that he paid
the amount for which this suit was
brought to Mr. Dickson for the help
he rendered the plaintiff in his work
