The court sentenced the prisoner to herd labour for eight

Samuel CAorloo Ellis, a well dressed intelligent looking
z u:t ler, woo indicted for steeling a *oat, the property of John
Ellis, his Inbar.

secutor, a brush maker, in Brick-lane, St. Luke's, had bad a
good deal of trouble with the prisoner, who had buss can-
Acted thratimes,. sied7a, a teat resource, to enforce reforma-
tion, he had him bound apprentice to him, so sa to be
abie to exercise the double authority of father and mean
over him. On the Ind instant the primmer absconded
with • great coat which his father had bought
for him to wear, stopped out all night, pawned the coat neat
day, and spent the proceeds In the company of prostitutes.
He was given into custody for stealing the coat, the property
of his father, but he declared it wee his own, his father
Irving bought it for him. He sow said he had dealt with it
m hie own, and had sot stolen it.
The father said ha certainly bought it for his use, lint he
merely lent it to him, and he had no right to take It away
and dispoee of it without his orninest.
The Assistant-Judge said the garden was, sot the
extent of misconduct the prisoner Ma hem guilty of to his
father formerly, and it amend le have been • good deal,
but whether he had in this Menne, hese guilty of the filmy
charged against him. A youth of hie age, 17, could legally
hold property, and if he pawned tide coat under the belief
that It wee his own, be could not be convicted. His own
opinion wee that the evidence did not make out the charge.
