Hope you are finding these as funny as I do...
Indecent Exhibition - Antonio Rico has got a music box and a magic lantern. His pictures represent members of the human family in the Texas cosutme. Whilst the exhibition is going on, he grinds Yankee Doodle out of the box and charges two rials a sight. He was discharged and the indecent pictures ordered to be destroyed.
Susannah, the Indian woman who has not been out of the station house for one week at a stretch in two years, was up again, with another attack of the prevailing epidemic. Sent down for 9 days.
Gaudalupe Parvenise, sleeping with a friend Sunday night, abstracted $10 from his pocket, for the purpose, he said, of preventing somebody else from taking it. Sent down for 3 months.
At least they were humorous crimes back then!!
