State of Indiana vs. Mary E. Grinsley, charge of assault and battery, brought by Commodore Perry Huffman. Plead guilty, and fined one dollar and costs. There being no law to imprison a woman for fine and costs, the lady sensibly left the Squire in the lurch.

Mary E. Grinsley vs. Commodore P. Huffman, surety of the peace. Defendant discharged on his agreeing to leave the country at once. But just how he is to get away very far without taking Shank’s mare for it remains to be seen, as his railroad pass to St. Louis Is not now in his possession.
