State vs. Brownell Niles. This was
an indictment for larceny Of one horse,
one COW, one express wagon, one harness,
one buffalo robe and one overcoat, the
property of j. E, Thurber of Brattlehoro'
The evidence on the part of the prosecu'
ton tended to show that sometime in the
fall of 1872, Jennison L. Thurber sold
the horse in question to the respondent,
as well as the COW, which horse and COW
were to remain upon the premises OF
Thurber and not to become property of
said Niles until paid for; and that the
same were to be paid for in cutting cord
wood for the said Thurber by the said
Niles. That November oath Niles took
the horse and other property mentioned
and drove it into Bennington county and
there disposed of the same. The re-
spondent claimed that he purchased the
horse and COW in controversy upon which
no lien was reserved by Thurber that
on the oath day of November he ex-
changed wagons and harnesses with
Thurber giving him four barrels of ap-
Piles to boot; that Thurber assisted
about exchanging wagons and harnesses,
and gave him the use of boy who was
at work for him to 20 with him to North
Adams, Mass where he was to dispose
Of the COW that respondent left the boy
at Wilmington, and then instead of 60
ing to North Adams, he went to Ben
nington and Manchester, where he dis
posed of the COW and horse that he left
the wagon and harness with one Eaton
in Manchester, where they now are, he
not being able to return to Brattleboro
