The case of Michael Halloran vs. the State of Indiana, in the -Supieme Court, on appeal from the Jasper Circuit Court, was decided last Fridry by affirming the judgment of Judge Hammond. This is the case that grew out of the beating of Edward O’Conner by Mr. Halloran in his saloon one night in last July, ano for which he was fined oy Esq. Seitzinger $5 the next day, of which The Republican gave a detailed account the next week. It will be remembered that at the time of the “trial” before ’Squire Seitzeager, Mr. O’Connor was confined to his bed by reason of the bruises and wounds about his face and head, but the State was unable to get the ■cause continued until O’Connor should be able to attend the trial as a witness.

From this judgement the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court where the case was elaborately presented by printed briefs on both sides. S. P. Thompson appeared for appellant and Frank W.
