MAYOR'S COURT-A soldier named Simon Ward, belonging to the
Barracks, was fined one dollar and costs yesterday for taking peaches from the
stand of a market woman named Julia Smith.
A Mrs. Long told Mrs. Smith that if she could not give a poor soldier a few peaches she must be a Sessionist, whereupon Mrs. Smith gave Mrs. Long a severe drabbing, for which she was fined ten dollars and costs.
