                       City Court Matters
                       
              There was a variegated docket in the
            city court to-day. MICHAEL WILSON prose-
            cuted GOTTLIEB WACHSTETTER for assault and
            battery, and the defendant was fined one
            dollar and costs. The evidence showed that
            WACHSTETTER had a legal grievance, and 
            had he used his fist instead of a mallet,
            in making the assault, the court would have
            been disinclined to enforce a penalty.
            GEORGE CLARKE, charged with stealing a
            watch, waived preliminary examination.
            JAMES MATHIAS, RICHARD JOHNSON, JAMES
            MONROE and PETER BAKER, vags, were sent
            down to be carefully nurtured at the ex-
            pense of the county. Nine plain drunks
            pleaded guilty at long range, and a riotous
            female gang, from No. 163 West Maryland
            street, were fined for fighting. They 
            registered as STELLA BROWN, RACHEL LAWTON,
            FLORA LANDERS, FLORA ROBERTSON, MOLLIE
            HARTER, and SADIE SHEPARD. A small fine
            was collected from JOHN HOLLAND for strik-
            ing his wife, and the court intimated to
            the complainant that she was not enitrely
            blameless in provoking the assault.
