The complaint, as made to Justice Shandley, was actu- ally a charge of cruelty to animals, since Mr. Bergh was acc of “wilfully” obstructing the traffic of the line and thereby keeping some thirty or forty horses waiting in the strect when, but for his “malicious interference, they mignt have the comforts of their reapec- Tesac W.

Mr. Bergh was of opinion that tue two horses attached to No. 10 were not equal to the load, and, conseqnently, deciared that he wonld not allow the car to move until the driver “doubled up,” or, in other words, attach two extra horses, In dread of arrest the conductor stopped the car, and it remained stationary for abowt an hour, causing the stoppage of some fifteen or twenty cars tn rear and obstructing public travel, to the great detriment of the raiiroad company. The conductor was of opinion that the two horses attached to car No. 16 were perfectiy abic to draw it without undue exertion or excessive labor, and therefore prayed that the accused might be arrested. Having been notified of the above com- jiamnt Mr. Bergh promptly appeared to answer. He insisted t 1¢ horses attached 'o No, 10 were be- ing abased wnen he ordered the conductor to halt. Asto the oharges of wilfully and malictousiy ob structing the trafic of the Hine, crucity to aniinais, Mr. Bergh considered them perfectly atweurd. ce Shandiey granted Mr. bergi's request for time to consult Counsel, and the case was uccord- fugly wiourved.
