The Arlington Advocate, 17 September 1886

POLICE COURT
Officers Barry, O'Brien and Austin went on a liquor raid last Saturday evening. The first place visited was the Spy Pond House, but they found nothing to reward their search. At the house of Daniel Ahern, on [North] Union street, they captured a case of lager and about three quarts of whiskey.

Michael Lane and Daniel [sic] Hines were before the court for sentence this week and were fined $12 and costs each. The latter paid and the former went to jail in default of bonds to prosecute his appeal.

The Arlington Advocate, 24 September 1886

A correspondent wants "the policemen to call around on Sunday, on North Union and Decatur streets and shut up those two rum holes for one Sunday at least and stop so much fighting and drinking as we have here. We never have a policeman around when the fighting is going on. I wish the selectmen would have them do their duty in those two cases and let us have one Sunday in peace."
POLICE COURT
Michael Lane got sick of being in jail and on Tuesday last appeared in court with a request to be allowed to withdraw his appeal and take sentence, but the judge would not grant his request, so he will have to wait until the November session of the court.
