evidently puxaled over the esse, for
they wore not n bis i" arrive at a con

having been returned when court ad

Before Jttdg Bit tier Mrs. Michael
Lyiuan, of Mii'lt.r.vii, a diminutive
specimen of th 1 femiuiuo gender, was
tried for having actual ted one, Thomas
Jooketi a man of more than ordinary
physical proportions. The defend int.
was represented by Attorneys John F.
Burngg and Joseph O'Brien, and the
commonwealth by Attorneys llulltuu

allege I was that tho defendant had
thrown a cobble atone at, the prose
cuter, striking him in the face.
The Melons denied tho allegation .
but asserted that .locket hud called the
woman a bad name and deserved to be
punished. Too case was given to the

man was away nt work much of the

there had been lights on thepremiiei
when Lit . -ras was at home, and the in

suould be held liable for the same; bnt
all the jurymen could not see it In that
