The four boys, George Connor, Chas.
Carroll, John Dougherty, and Willie
Reynard, found guilty of larceny, were,
on Saturday, sentenced by His Honor
Judge Shattuck to three years each in
the penitentiary. These youthful Of
Tenders, the youngest but nine years
old, had the benefit of fair trial, and
public sympathy was throughout
strongly in their favor, on account of
their extreme youth; the evidence of
their guilt was, however, so conclusive
that the jury could do no less than bring
in verdict of guilty, and the court no
less than pass sentence. 1t is hoped
that their fate will be a salutary warn
ing to others of their age in this city,
who are manifestly on the same road,
and especially be a warning to parents
to look after their boys.
