! HE BARRE BCRGLARY.-It has been
understood for a week that Hon. c.. II
Heath, counsel for Peter Alphonsos, was
ready to furnish the $4,000 bail required
Accordingly, on Monday, Alphonsos was
brought from the State Prison at Windsor
to the Montpelier Jail. and last evening he
was bailed by Mr.. Heath before Judge
Powers. On this being done, Alphonsos
was Immediately taken in charge by Sher-
| if l-yford, on private suits in favor of Mr.
King, Mrs. King and their daughter four
writs in ALL the damages claimed amount
ing to some $4,000. 1t is not probab BILE
Alphonsos can procure bail in these cases,
We think that it was very proper that the
State,atter having bound Alphonsos up for
trial to its own satisfaction, should not tai e
measures to hold him for things that really
constituted a part of his main defence.
1t Is, however, very natural that the
family which was bound and gagged, and
put through the rough experience of that
July night, should want punishment adj
ministered beyond what would amount to
a mere fine. And however painful the re
suit may be 10 the accused, we do not see
that there is any reason for complaint
against the parties who have sued him. 1t
would have been otherwise had the State
moved again in a criminal prosecution
after having bound him up for the main
crime.
