Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa December 15, 1871 The Courts. Justice Court. Case of S. Nilsson and G. Freburg, charged with receiving stolen goods-abstracted from the store of Thos. McCullough by his clerk-as chronicled in yesterday's Democrat, up for hearing this afternoon. Police Court. The Boersch-Ulrich case pending yesterday. Both parties fined $6 and costs. December 19, 1871 The Courts. Circuit Court. Brown & Sully vs. J.A. LeClaire; Jury trail; action to recover $500 retainer claimed to be due. It appears that defendant. had at one time consulted plaintiff upon a case which they did not see fit to take hold of. Defendant afterwards employed another attorney. Verdict for defendant. Police Court. Cook vs. LeClaire-action for highway robbery. It appears that Cook had sold LeClaire a horse and got the money. The horse, not proving as represented. LeClaire, collared Cook at Lorten's stable and "persuaded" him a little. Verdict for defendant. Jas. Mauzy, an old soaker, who had given bonds six months ago, to keep sober, was arrested at depot last evening thoroughly drunk with face badly frozen. Was to jail, brought before Peters, this morning and required to renew his bond. On representation of Dr. Middleton, the Squire issued a permit for his removal to hospital. His face is badly frozen. Dec. 20, 1871 Brown & Sully vs. Henry LeClaire-not J.A. LeClaire as per our report of yesterday. Action for recovery of $250 retainer fees. It appears that defendant, with his attorney from Springfield, Illinois, came to this city some eighteen months since to make war upon the LeClaire estate; retained plaintiffs, who went into consultation with defendant's imported attorney, and worked in the case a long time-until they discovered that other counsel had been employed, without their consent. The verdict of the jury was adverse to the claim; but the end is not yet. Dec. 21, 1871 Justice Court. All Buffalo seemed to throng Justice Thorington's Court this morning. There was Charles Hoffbauer, Geo. Bald, Geo Huhn, W.S. Boles and W. Keller, as defendants-charged with the crime of assaulting and maltreating one August Wolters, using deadly weapons with the intention of committing murder. Constable Dodd stood at the head of his class, having brought them in, last evening, part stopping at the Schnitger House, and others of them at other hotels in the city. They were not ready for trial, and the cause was continued until the 29th inst, at 9 o'clock A.M. when we may expect a big time in the Court. Geo E Hubbell for the State. Foster & Gabbert for the defendants. Cathy Joynt Labath Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/index.htm Iowa Old Press http://www.IowaOldPress.com/
