terday, was traced Yesterday by ofncer Gross to
an eating house on Bridge street, kept by a yell
low man named Richard Daily. The plate was
taken in charge by the officer, and Daily arrested
and taken before Justice Reaver. IL appeared
from the statement Of Daily that he had purchased
II from Il white man for 81, which statement was
corroborated by the fact that the thief had offered
it for sale at several other places before going to
Daily's. The Justice, however, in consequence
| of being unable to produce the party from whom
| he purchased it, held him to bail for his appear
ance at the Criminal Court.
