CRIMINAL Court. State of Wis
consir vs.. James Howell and Samuel
Skellinge..-A warrant in the above
case was issued by Justice Burr on
Saturday the 18th inst. On Sunday
the defendants were arrested and on
Monday were arranged and plead not
guilty and the case was continued
until Thursday the 18th inst. A trial
was had and the defendants were
found guilty. and sentenced to impris-
onment in County Jail for 10 days and
to pay fine of $40 each and cost of
prosecution. The parties are row in
Jail living out their punishment.
The above was case of larceny of
oats and corn projected on a large
scale, which project would doubtless
have been carried out, had not an
early discovery frustrated the opera
tors IN the commencement. A search
warrant brought forth the stolen prop
erty and the persons in whose hands
it was found, an old man aud boy,
being considered by the court as more
sinned against than shining, were per.
mitted to turn States evidence, aud
after a simple recitsl, which fully and
clearly convicted the accused, were
suffered to depart in peace, with the
REPETITION of an admonishment from
a Higher Judge, "To so md sin no
more.
Another case Of the larceny Of a
hog in the north part of the town,
charged upon several young men and
boys-all old and large enough to
know better-is still pending aod un-
determined. We hope the boys did
not steal the hog, if they did sell it
and pocket the money. 1t is dirtier
business, and almost as bad to steal a
hog, as to steal a sheep.
Still another case. A tall young
man from just beyond Hurricane cor.
ners who has been ruralizing in the
West for some months to escape ar.
