Sunday Blue-Law Prosecution in Connecticut

A MR. LAFAYETTE F. MAINE, of Ledyard, Conn., a farmer, was fined eleven dollars and costs recently under an old blue law, on complaint of a cousin, for drawing some corn fodder with his oxen on Sunday. The cousin stayed from church, and saw the “unlawful” deed committed; hence the prosecution. Neighbors for miles around came to attend the trial. Mr. Maine appealed the case.
