Wednesday Morning, January 4, 1888.

Police Court

Yesterday, the alleged “Ben Butler” was taken before Judge Dee and tried upon two charges of petty larceny, the former charge of grand larcenty having been withdrawn.  He was found guilty on both counts, and was sentenced on the first to six months imprisonment, and on the second to four months.

He will, therefore, remain in limbo for ten months, at the expiration of which time, it is to be hoped he will turn over a new leaf, for he will doubtless be willing to forget the past.

Richard Hull was arraigned on the charge of drunkenness and was fined $10.  Being unable to furnish that number of ducats he was remanded to the care of the City Jailor, and will beautify the alrects for that number of days.

Simeon Sammons was yesterday taken before Judge Dee on a charge of drunkenness, having been found on the streets in an extremely intoxicated condition. He was fined ten dollars which he paid, and departed in peace.
