Cases Brought Before the Trempealeau Circuit Court
March 5-7, 1860

From The Trempealeau Representative, Trempealeau County Wisconsin, Volume I, 
Number 32, Friday, March 9, 1860, Page 2

--Court adjourned March 7th, after a session of three days, very little 
	business was before the court. The case of the State vs. HOBBS 
	(assault and battery) verdict of guilty was rendered, and defendant 
	fined thirty dollars and costs.

	State vs. Weston SNOW--case was removed to Juneau County.

	State vs. Hiram BUTMAN, appealed from Justice's court.  Defendant 
	paid fine and costs, and appeal dismissed.

	Isaac NOYES vs. MERRIMAN & BATES, judgement for plaintiff.

	The Grand Jury found indictments against a couple of institutions in 
	this place for gambling.

	Quite an excitement was created in town among the boys last Tuesday 
	and Wednesday, by the Sheriff appearing among them with a pocket full 
	of subpoenas, summoning them to appear before the Grand Jury. Some 
	hid in cellars, others in potato holes, and behind old barrels and 
	boxes until they were seized with cramps from their confined 
	positions. But it was all futile, rats must come out to drink, and 
	they were finally all caught, and brought to Limerick.
