COURT RECoRD.-On Monday the 23d inst,
Sumner Hall and James Boyd of Dummerston,
were brought before Royal Tyler, Esq, under
the recent act of the Legislature, upon the COM
plant Of the Town Grand Juror, for stealing
blanket from the sleigh of A. p. Wilder Of
this village, on the evening Of January l4th
while said sleigh was standing under the sheds
attached to the Brattleboro' House barns. 1t
appeared that Mr.. Wilder had left his horse
and sleigh standing there for few moments
while he was doing some errands in the village,
and that upon his return his blanket, which was
throwr1 kyer c,e seal and badS of his sleigh. was
missing The two respondents were just start
ing with their horse and sleigh to leave the
yard, when Mr.. Wilder inquired il they had
seen his blanket, or had got it in their sleigh.
They replied that they had not whereupon
Mr.. Wilder thrust his hand under the seat of
their sleigh and brought forth his blanket,
which was nicely slowed away. They protested
that they were innocent and knew not how the
blanket came there. But the circumstance,
were of so suspicious character that the JUS
tce put them under bonds of 500 each, for
their appearance at the County Court Mr.
Haskins appeared as counsel for the prosecu
ton, and Messrs. Howe and Mann for the re-
spondants.
This is not the first instance in which blank
els, buffalo robes and whips have been stoler
from carriages in this village, and it is hoped
that the example made of these two young mel
may have an influence to deter those who hav,
been guilty of like offenses from the commits
sion Of such crimes The last Legislature die
a noble act in enac'ing law making it a Stat,
prison oiense in robbing carriages of their con
tents, clotheslines, g.. of their clothes, ont
cloth hung ott to dry, even though the valu,
thereof is-less than seven dollars and thos
found guilty of such meanness ought not com
plain if they have to suffer TO the full extent
its penalties.
