The l6rst case calledwas that of State
vs.. Joseph B. Shane for the larceny of
a three year old h-ifer from Mr.. Edward
Wilson Of Brandywine Hundred. Rob.
inson for State; Sharplsy for defence.
Mr.. Wilson testified the heifer was
one Of fifteen that had been swept from
his pastures by the recent food on the
23d Of October. The cattle was running
around on the marshes on the land Of
Mr.. Msndsnhall in great danger Of be-
ing drowned. These were. all saved sx-
cspt one--a heifer. According to the
statement Of the witness, gentleman
named Pierce Gould came and in
formed him, a day afterwards, that a
heifer belonging to him (ths witnsss)
was in the slaughter house Of ]. Gould,
among the cattle Of butcher named
VIM Murphy. He went to the place
and recognized tho hsifer as being his
AMI brought II home.
William Murphy, sworn: Testified
that the hsifsr was brought to him by
ths prisoner, who said that II belonged
to his sister; for which he gave him
Sl6. Hs [ths witnsss] afterwards hear
ing that the heifsr belonged to Mr.
Wilson returned II 10 him. The
witness stated that the heifv looked
a. though II had come from the water;
for Its hair not only bore such evidence
but the auimal had rope or piece Of
clothes line around its horns.
On tho psrt Of the defencs the drst
" itness sworn was b. c. Resvig, who
said he saw the prisoner on the day Of
the flood. He was up 70 his srsn-pits
in water In his rndeavor TO rescue .
heifsr. By the aid Of 3 piece Of rope
the COW was finally rescued by the
prisoner In . weak condition. The wit
ness thought II the prisoner had not
rescued the animal II would surely
have psriShsd. FfFW h.@ % HS
The case closed, and Mr.. Sharpley,
at the beginning Of his argument, sub
mitted several points Of Law, showing
that the prisoner. in risking his life to
ssye that Of ths cow, the animal appsrs
emily having no other owner, he him.
self became possessor Of it. Mr.. Sharp
Icy supplemented these points with an
able argument. .....
Mr.. Robinson followed in his remarks
Of rsbuttal, by sndeavoring to show by
the evidence in the case, that the iu-
tent Of the prisoner was criminal one,
and that the Anal disposition Of the oow
was Of sufiicient evidence to establish
that fact.
At this juncture, the jury In the
Johnson shoat stealing case came in, af
ter being out about five hours, with
verdict Of guilty" ~" @s
The Court sentenced him 10 pay 48
money and costs, receive ten
lashes on Saturday next, bs imprisoned
six months and wear . convict's jacket
six months thereafter.
After this verdict had been rendered
the Court charged the jury in the
3chsne case, and without leaving their
seats they returned verdict Of "not
i uilty." ..l.g..
