stated that the covered stand Of Mr.. Caldwell,
at the Centre Market, was broken open, and
half dosen hams stolen thereSrom, bat whi,h
property was afterwards found in the street,
the thief being SO narrowly eyed by the watch :
men as to cause him to run away from his
booty and We now have to announce that,
since that time, the locker of Mr.. Wilson, the
butcher, was broken open, and pair of Sal
ier's spring balsnces distracted The loser
ment in another column Of the Star.
We frequently hear Of larcenies in the Centre
Market, such as the stealing of baskets filled
with domestic produce One one occasion,
while lady was purchasing beef. her basket,
containing her tutter, worth 81 75,) together
with the kettle, was silly removed by an in
genius rogue who escaped detection.
We conceive it to be our duty to suggest to
our readers that they b, watchfui while making
their purchases. for there are always provlers
In the Centre Market seeking" for that which
"thsy may dsvour."
CIRCUIT CoURT In this court. Yesterday.
the case Of James G.. Barry, of St. Louis,
against James Adams, administrator of the
estate OF Thomas Law, deceased, was tried and
brought to conclusion. AS we understand
the matter, it appears that in 1923, Mr.. Barry
advanced Mr.. Law $3.50, In part payment for
lot in Washington. Mr. Law being on the
eve Of going to the Springs, instructed his
brother Edmund to give Mr.. Barry perfect
deed on the payment Of the additional 500,
which would comprise the entire stipulated
price for the property.
that Mr.. Barry ever offered to pay this last
namsd amount, and the action was brought to
recover the $3.50 which had been given to MIR
Thomas Law.
The court instructed the jury that if they
believed that MIR. Law did not hold title to
the land, it was not necessary for Mr.. Barry to
show that he had offered the SlOO to Mr.. Ed.
mund Law, or that title deed had bsen prof.
fersd to Mr.. Barry.
The jury rerdcrel verdict for Mr.. Barry,
namely, to Ie,cver the $3.50, with interest from
tho - a.
amounts 10 about 500. Stone and Morgan for
Barry, aid Carlisle for Adams.
