Miscellaneous cases.
--The law requires the closing of bar-rooms at 10 o'clock at night, but in some cases individual preferences condemn the practice.

The
Recorder deemed the offence a misdemeanor, and held the parties to answer an indictment.
D. M. Allen,
Wm. Jones,
Patrick Lynch Charles P. Backler,
Alexander Killroy, and

Larkin Curtis a discharged soldier, was up for a similar offence, and dismissed on condition of his leaving town forthwith.
