9-28-1867 Rutland Independent
Police Court
O. B. Bogue, Brandon, fined $11.35 for being drunk
J. F. Stinson, selling of liquor $16.47
Fanny and Rose Doyle, for making too free use of
their tongues and fists, were put under bonds to keep
the peace.
Jane Billings was required to give bonds in the sum of
$100 for stealing from the house of Morris Reynolds.
Thomas Green and James Quow were each fined
$11.35 for drunkenness.
William Butterfly was fined for breach of peace.
The person reported killed on the Fair Grounds
Thursday by being struck by a team driven by a couple
of damsels was not so serious as reported. He
returned home the same evening. It would seem that
if actions indicate anything, he had previously
attempted to commit suicide by drinking a jug
of Rutland whiskey.
County Court
Several persons have been civilized during the past week. On
Friday James MeKeand was fined $30 and costs, which he paid.
Young Chappel was released on bail. Willard Comstock for larceny
and David Oney Jr. for resisting an officer who was arresting him, for drunkenness,
were each sentenced to the "scythe snatch" factory at Windsor (the state prison)
the former for one year and the latter for a year and a half.
William Spellman, a printer, after having served a term of three years in the
Courier (competition paper) office, serves the balance of his time, two years
and eight months, in the State Prison.
Jane Billings for larceny, goes to the same institution for one year.
In the case of S. D. Hazen of Wallingford, who was indicted for violating
the liquor law, the jury failed to agree to take no notice of complaints which
were made for violation of the liquor law in other towns, and in the county,
where good and sufficient evidence was furnished to them.
The docket was called on Friday. Only one case remains for the jury,
which will be tried on Thursday next, when the court will adjourn. |
