Refrigerator = jail?

[Michael McKernan]

Came across this in the Willimantic Chronicle, Connecticut; (Brooklyn is a
CT town/village near Willimantic):

>Mar. 14, 1883: A stranger named Patrick Grady in a drunken condition fell
>against a window in the
>European house Monday and refused to pay for the damage. Complaint was
>made to Officer Flynn who brought him
>before Justice Sumner where a fine of $2 and cost were imposed. He
>appealed from this decision and will await in
>the Brooklyn refrigerator judgement from the superior court at the May term.
