promises to be memorable in the his-

country. Judge Silas A. Robinson pre-
sided. '
There were fifteen cases down on the
list. Included in this number was the
case of Frederick Buxton, who gave
the officers a' lively time of it while
they were attempting to serve papers.
'The first man to change his plea was
George E. Searles, an old soldier who
was charged with assault and breach
of the peace. The assault consisted in
pointing a . revolver at Wellington
Green and threatening to shoot, in
Wilton on Aug. 15 last. Both men are

Comes from his fondness for
codpled with an excitable tempera-
ment. From the statements made to
the court it appeared that Green was
much to blame for arousing Searles’
anger. The latter claimed that he car-
ried a revolver because he feared that
Green would do him bodily injury.
Judge Robinson imposed a sentence of
15 days in'jail.

of a dwelling house in the night season.
. The young man was called to the
stand by Judge Robinson and question-
ed. He said he lived inHartford county
but did not know what town. “That is
enough,” said the court, “I do not want
to hear any more from a man who says
he was born in Hartford county and
does not know the name of the town. ”
The young man then wanted to explain
but it was too late. A few minutes lat-
er the court'said: “Mead,

lesson.”
Frank C. Cunningham, John [Dickey
and Richard Fahey were charged with
horse stealing. On, September 26 last,
Fahey took a horse which had been
hired by Daniel "-Driscoll in Westport.
He met the other two and asked them
to take a ride. They went and were
subsequently all arrested. Mr. Fessen-
den recommended a nolle in the cases
of Cunningham and Dickey. In Fa-
hey’s case a very bad record was pro-
duced and read to the court. The young
man has been arrested and punished
several times for petty thefts and also
once for taking a team without leave.
Judge Robinson asked the young man
whether he intended to continue his
acts of dishonesty in the future. Young
Fahey hung his head and said he would
try to do better. He was then sen-
tenced to two years in the state prisbn,
the minimum penalty.
Frederick Buxton was ready to
change his plea after a conference with
his counsel. He pleaded guiIty to as-
sault and breach of the peace and was
then called to the stand to tell about
the case. He started off at the rate of
300 words a minute and the court asked
him to speak slower. He told of his
wrongs and the damage which had been
done to his crops by the Ogdens’ cattle.

Isault which had been made upon her
