lean mig that he had committed an error the proof
went TO show that he Immediately sought to rectify
by using all exertOns to the rearrest Of Lamb
The District-Attomey then summed up the case for
the prosecution. He contended that Justice Bogart
well knew the character of the man Lamb; that he
was pickpOcket He had first fixed bis bail at o. OOO
and had then reduced it to $500. He saw that Lamb
in signing the bonds signed different name TO each,
and he knew, too that Lamb had several aliases at
tached to his name. He made inquiries to
whether the man offered surety responsible but
accepted him with evidence of his respOnsbiitye
cept his own word.
Judge CspIon instructed the Jury a. to the law bear
