In a previous post, I wrote about finding a David Pittman in court for illicit distilling. I'm not sure if this case went on for awhile or if there were additional charges. It appears to have been continued several times with him eventually getting 30 days in jail in May of 1876. In October he is again mentioned but it is shown as "no action taken". I wonder if that may have been where they checked to see if he had served his sentence. I would imagine he had or there would have been further action needed.
