"COURT WILL LOOK THE HORSE OVER," Hamilton Spectator. January 22, 1912. Page 12. --- Difference of Opinion As to Its Condition ---- Trouble Over an Animal Whose Cost Was $15 --- Neighbors at Loggerheads Over Right to an Alley ---- Samuel Golden, a rag peddler, who lives on Stuart street east, was charged by Inspector Berlinghoff with cruelly treating his horse. police court this morning At the Samuel told with frankness that he considered the inspector's charge to be a groundless one. He said that the horse was a good one, its original cost being $15, and during the last eight months had proved a worthy steed. The inspector discredited this. He claimed that the animal was the most emaciated, bony-looking creature he had seen in some time; besides it was suffering from some complaint of the hoof, which caused it to walk along on three legs. Despite his warnings 10 the owner to have the beast taken care of, his pleas were ignored. Golden denied all this, and the magistrate, in order to settle the case satisfactorily, ordered that the horse be brought up to the station in the morning, when it will be inspected, to see whether or not it is in fit condition to be in commission.

OBSTRUCTED AN ALLEY Andrew Sturdy, 66 Market street, was charged by Byron Richardson with having deposited large quantities of ashes in an alley adjoining his home, and thereby obstructing all access to it for teams and others who found occasion to use it. He also accused Sturdy of encroaching on the width of the alley, to the extent of six inches, which was caused by a shed that he built, a few weeks ago. and which protruded further than the sheds of the neighbors. Sturdy denied the charge, but Andrew Sanszone, 17 York street, whose barn is adjacent to the alley, said it was almost impossible for any vehicle to get into the warehouses since the ashes had been placed there. The magistrate informed Sturdy that his actions were wrong and that he would have to move the debris immediately.
