BYERS & BOYD vs. Chris WOLFINGER, on account for $11.12, judgment by default. BYERS & BOYD vs. Ellen McMAHON, on account for $50.37, judgment by default. John CLARE was assessed a fine of $10 for intoxication, by Judge STEPHENSON, Monday morning, amounting with costs to $18.50. He went to jail. Ed R. GEORGE was before Judge STEPHENSON Saturday, for refusal to cut weeds on his premises, as required by a city ordinance, and was assessed a fine of $5 with costs, amounting to $11, which he paid. Marshal RUSSELL says a number of affidavits will be filed at once against other parties who have refused or neglected to comply with the weed-cutting ordinance. A Court of Enquiry into various cases of suspected sales of liquor by Bedford saloons on Sunday was held before Judge STEPHENSON last week. A number of witnesses were examined. One of the men summoned to testify is a Democratic Councilman, and at first affected great anger at the indignity, declaring he would not appear, and threatening the police with dire consequences from a reorganized Police Board. When he learned that Judge STEPHENSON had started a policeman after him with the necessary papers and that he might have to spend a night in jail for contempt of Court, same as common white folks, he made his appearance in Court, smiling, and stated that he misunderstood the nature of the Court. His apology was accepted.
