Found guilty ‘of -abusing a horse a\\d disturbing the peace, John Do- bruck, a New Britain youth, was fined $6 and costs by Justice Condell before whom he was arraigned on sev- eral charges yesterday afternoon. The young man had interfered with Constables Marino and Anderson when they attempted to take possession of a team which he had hired at a New Britain livery stable. The horse which he was driving had apparently been abused and after communicating | with the owner the officers had de- ! cided to put it in a livery barn. Do- bruck objected so forcibly that the po- licemen locked him up. In court the young mean pleaded guilty to (two charges and the other counts were nolled. Matthew McInerney, also of New | Britain, appeared at yesterday after- noon's session: of the court. He de- nied that he was drunk at the time of his arrest and although the court explain®d that if he admitted. - his um. there was a chance that judg-’ ent would be suspendéd, the prise uner was unwilling to confess. A fine of $7 and (osts ‘was imposed and the accused was taken to jall to work out the penalty. Justice E. P. Prior and Grand Juror M. A. Norton were unable to - get away from their business duties this morning to try David Meyers, a truck- il er at the transfer station who had been locked up by Constables Down- ing and Marino for intoxication. | Rather than force the man to remain in the lock-up until this afternoon they had the officer bring him to the | Plainville Hardware company's store where the.charges against him were heard. Justice Prior impnsed a fine of{$1™and costs for drunkenness and ‘a sentence ‘of thirty.days in jail for breach of the peace but suspended execution of the latter penalty.

He saw mice by the millions hopping from every conceivable hiding place in the car and fearing that in his frenzied efforts to protect himself from the ro- dents he might do some harm, the police were called. Constables Ma- rino and Downing brought the man to the lock-up.
