    3. The Daily Record-Union Sacramento, Cal. Thursday, July 15, 1880 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE POLICE COURT - In the Police court yesterday A. BEMINCRER was tried and found guilty of disturbing the peace, and will receive sentence to- day. Mrs. R. MAZEAUX and Miss Maggie SANZE were tried upon same charge and discharged. John DOUGH, for embezzlement, was discharged. Lizzie DWYER, for disturbing the peace, was found guilty and fined $5. The case of Wallace McPHERSON was continued till Saturday. The cases of Ah Sam and Ah Toy, for stealing lumber, were continued till same time. L. TOMLIN, for being common drunk, was given twenty five days in the County Jail to enable him to get sober. E. BAROVA and John BLANCICH, for disturbing the peace, were discharged on payment of costs. Robert McMAHON, for same offense, pleaded guilty and will be sentenced to- day. M. ZOCH, for same, was discharged, and James McLAUGHLIN, being a vagrant, was sent to the County Jail for ninety days. COLORED HONESTY - Some months ago a colored man by the name of J.C. JACKSON was fined in the Police Court in this city the sum of $20 for battery upon another man of his color. After judgment it was represented to the Court that if the defendant was allowed to go out and earn the money, he would pay the fine. The Court, trusting to the defendantís honesty, allowed him to go. It appears that the trust was not misplaced, for yesterday a package of coin - $20 - was received, which the defendant sent from Jacinto to meet his liability. This is a rare instance of integrity for the class that have dealings in the Police court. It is safe to say, however, that the Court will not make a steady practice of trusting generally to the integrity of its judgment debtors. BRIEF NOTES Captain James B. EADE, the wide known civil engineer, yesterday passed Omaha for this State, where he comes as Consulting Engineer in relation to the Sacramento river improvement.

On the way he fought the officers, and gave forth most disgraceful vulgarity and epithets at everybody he met or saw, which seemed to be a manifestation of his highest development.

She appeared in the Police Court to-day, was found guilty and fined $5. In default of payment she was committed to prison for five days. There was no charge of drinking or drunkenness preferred against her. The arrest is generally disapproved.
