On election day he voted, though warned he had no legal right to do so. Complaint was made, and he was summoned before Justice GIRVAN to answer therefor, but before the time for trial came, he pleaded guilty, and was fined $10.00 and costs, amounting to about $75.00 in all. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
