Warming to C0nductors-A Dishonest Com
ductor Of the Belt Railroad Sentenced for
Embezzling from the Company.
Before Judges Bowling and Kelly.
At the Court OF Special Sessions yesterday case
In which much interest was manifested was
brought to the notice of the court. Henry Foster
was arraigned at the bar on accusation OF
embezzlement preferred by Mr. Abraham Brown
superintendent Of the Belt Railroad COMPANY who
proved that on the 25th ult. the prisoner who
was employed as a conductor, rendered him
siXty-nine cents the full amount OF fares ex-
acted in the course OF trip during that day. On
interr0gating him more closely the Superintendent
surmised that the company had been defrauded
and informed Foster that his services were no
longer required. When the conductor gained the
street he openly declared that he had beat the
company, and boasted that he ''made, three dollars
and sixty cents on the trip All this evidence having
been adduced on the trial his counsel, Mr.. Hurd
attempted to clear his Client making several legal
objections.
Mr. Cunning 8. Bedford, Jr., Assistant District At.
torney who appeared on behalf OF the people, urged
the conviction OF the prisoner Foster and asked the
court to convict him and nnct the severest penalty
the law would permit In order to set an example to
other conductors, who abored under the impression
that railroad companies proper food for all cor
mOrans TO get fat on, and that 1t was no offence to
withhold money from them. The court concided
with Mr.. Bedford, and Judge Bowling convicted the
defendant and sentenced him TO six months irppris
0nnient In the Penitentiary.

agesfo the alleged infringement OF the plantiff,s
copyright in the sensational drama OF .'Grith Gaunt

February, March and April, 1857, and therefore
defendant Is s., liable to him III for damages
passed for the protection Of authors and commonly
known as the Dramatic Copyright act. The defend
ant denies generally that he ever performed said
play. The case now came before the court on the
following peculiar state OF proceedings. Last year.

was arrested IN this suit by the United States Marshal
and shortly afterwards examined before the United
States Commissioner as to the aforesaid perform

also several slips cut from California newspapers
