The Captain Of Canal Boat Sentenced
to the Penitentiary.

SIT LARCENY To SELL A roRTioy or GANG I
An interesting case has for some time been pen
ling in the Court of Special Sessions, before Jus
ices Connolly Steers and Brownell, and was con
.uded 90 far as that court il concerned this NOR
ming.
Itappears from the statements Of the Interested
parties. that Daniel Wilsey, the captain of the
canal boat Lily, was employed by Dana & Compn-
ny. Of this city, to bring wheat from Oswego to
New York. The captain had full charge Of the
boat employed and payed the men. &C., and was
responsible to Dana 4 Co., for the safe delivery of
the cargo.
On his way down on the last voyage Of the sea-
son, Captain Wilsey sold four bags of the wheat
belonging to Dana 4 Co.. when about two hundred
miles from this city and on coming here with the
balance several thousand bushels was arrested
for larceny.
Judges Beebe and Stoart, and Mr.. Spencer, be-
came interested in the case and. we believe, vol
untecrcd for the defendant They claimed: lst.
That no court in Now York had jurisdiction in the
case since the offence, if any had been committed
was not committed in this county. The Court
hesitated aud took time to consider tee point and
finally oyerruled the objection, deciding that it
had jurisdiction.
The second point for the defence was, that the
offence was not larceny embezzlement, nor even
II breach of trust, since the Captain was RESPONSE
bile for his cargo, and custom had established that
il, upon weighing the cargo. there was dehcieh-
cy, he was bound TO make it up and il, on the
Other hand, there was surplus he was entitled
to il.
The defence offered in evidence the account, be-
tween the firm and the prisoner, and claimed that
~ the wheat was sold it was duly crelited to the
cousignees but this ruled out. 1t was also
offered to show the past business relations Of the
parties, which was also ruled out; and the prise
her was found guilty Of larceny. and renanded
irr sentence till this morning, When he was ven
fenced 10 the Penenary for one month.
Judge Stuart remarked that he considered the
decision violation Of humanity and of law. and
wished the court Immediately to note an appoa /,
aud bail would be given at once.
The court remarked that the commercial com
munity was extensively Interested in the case, ns
merchants have often suffered by similar trausae-
tions.-N. J. Post.
