Boyd that he would have the horses removed to his
exchange stables, in oath street, within one hour
from the time Of obtaining the money. In order to
make the transaction appear complete Boyd went into
the stables and selected thirteen stalls for the
commodation of the horses but as the cavacade did
not make its appearance the keeper of the stables who
had lent the money, set about making inquiries which
resulted in proving that the borrower of the $40 had
no horses at all at Chamberlain stables and in fact
that he had obtained the money falsely frauduently
and felonously. Boyd plead guilty to the charge and
was sentenced to the city prison for 80 days.
