Rutland Herald. State vs. Jas. McDonough. Indictment for assault. Plea guilty. State vs. Mary McDonough. Indictment for selling and furnishing intoxicating liquor. Verdict guilty on 3 counts of selling and one of furnishing. May 11, 1855. Rutland Herald. --WHY WILL YOU? Joseph Dougherty was sentenced, several weeks since, to six months confinement in the Rutland County jail for selling liquor. A few days since his wife was sentenced to three months confinement in the same place for a like offense. At the last term of the Rutland Co. Court, James McDonough was sentenced to three months imprisonment in Jail for beating his wife. A few days since, this partner of his joys and sorrows, Mary, was sentenced to three months imprisonment for selling liquor. These four individuals, together with two small children, occupy one room in our inhuman jail. -Chas Prime, who was sentenced at the last term of the Rutland Co. Court to pay a fine of $20 and costs, was released on Tuesday, by the payment of the fines &c, by the contributions of his friends. __The man who raves because his name was published in the HERALD along with the names of Irishmen, as a liquor seller, should not have been engaged in Irishmen's business. Stop selling beer, take the Herald and you will live a wiser and a happier man. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
