The com plainant says he was riding towards the city with Mr. Wilson, a driver for the Carling, Brewing Co., and at Mas- onville the defenclarit came out and wanted Wilson to treat. He replied that he had no money'when Morkin offered to trust him and Wilson said: -- "Well, bringlos out a drink," Then Moil in turned his ittention to the complainant, and told him as his ride was not costing him anything he could afford to treat. Eastman also said he had no money, when Morkin spoke of his ring. Eastman consented to throw dice for the ring, but after gmtting into the barroom refused to do it, saying the ring WaS not his. Morkin asked to look at it, aricl when he got' it remarked that Eastman must now treatfight or throw dice for that ring Eastman saye he, declined to do either but on cominse to town laid an infor- mation before Squire J.
