bourhood. and for several years had been absent at sea ; ed,oorii 60
a few months ago, however. he returned to tho locality, 60,000,, 40
and had since led an idle life. From the evidence of two 10,000! 26
little boys who were in company with the accused at the 30.0g0 00
time in question, and who were taken into custody but I.2orui 62.,
liberated, it seemed that the three lads were about the at a
neighbourhood together on the afternoon of Sunday week, 10'00,1100
