Such conduct te not permitted at our new station and in bis temporary condition of paralysis be was loaded on a dray and hauled to the county bastile where he was quartered until Monday morqing when he recovered sufficiently to plead “guilty as charted” in Squire Irwin’a court. It was his first convicted offense and the court assessed a fine of $5 and costs, amounting no $9.25.
