Frances Loving, who appeared on Friday under the name of Frances Smith, was again up for drunkenness. Policeman Epps testified that he found her lying in a perfectly helpless condition upon the street, with a bottle of whisky by her side.

John Welch, charged with making an assault upon his wife, was called; but, failing to appear, his bail was declared forfeited.
