some representations or Misrepresentation, had in
dlcted him for larceny Of the goods. Mr.. Cowan

months awaiting her trial: that the States witnes.
ses had been three times returned non ci and there
fore the State had no evidence to offer Even if
there any testimony ne considered that the
woman had been already sufficiently punished; it
seemed to him that there should be a workhouse
established, where parties charged with such petty
offences should be Immediately sent and punished
by the proceedings OF a magistrates court, but as
