Mayor Pratt’s Court and New Patrolmen

William White, who keeps a tavern at the corner of Mount Ephraim pike and Kaighn avenue, was placed on trial before Mayor Pratt yesterday afternoon for selling liquor without a license. He pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay a fine and costs, which amounted to $59.45, in default of which he was committed to the city jail for ten days. Mayor Pratt yesterday afternoon appointed ex-Councilman William Smith and James Gibson, a machinist, as patrolmen on the police force in the places of Cooley Smith and John Kelly, of the Lighth [sic] ward, who were discharged on Saturday afternoon for neglect of duty.
