fuhish the SWtnulcrs.
The recent ruling of the criminal court
dismissing case of larceny brought ag dnst q
man named Jackson, who, 1t was clearly
shown, had swindlod his victim by the process
known rs the "thrco-cdrd monte" game, has
since then been freely commented upon by
the lawyers, many of whom take RECEPTIONS
to the ruling Of the court. 1t was held in the
criminal court that there WIS no law to meet
the case. The following communication was
written by a wcllknown lawyer:
In my opinion, as the law now stands, the de-
fendant Jackson was clearly guilty of larceny
under the evidence detailed TO the Jury and rs
reported in The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, aud base
| my opinion upon the following case, with others,
referred to IN Wharton's Grim. Law st vol, Ed. of
| 1852. In this case one of the defendants per-
suadod the prosecutor, by prcconccrtod plan, to
deposit his money with another OF the defendants
rs deposit upon pretended bet and the stake
| holder aflerwnrd upon prelonse that one OF lilS
| conicderoes had won the wager, handed tie
| money over to him. lt was lon to the jury to say
| whether, at the time tho money was taken, there
was not plan that 1t should be kept. under the
| false color Of winning the bet. and the jury found
| that there was. The oilCuse WA, held to be lar
| ceny,' and the prisoner was convicted. NhAr-
tons Grim. Law, 90, Ed. 1852; RcNvs. Robson, Il.
This covers Iackson's case as completely as If 1t
| had been made for the especial facts.
Now, rs this Swindle Is an everyday occurrence,
| ana a. this ruling Of the criminal court will be
| considered rs an authority 10 govern the police
court In like cases. there ought to be something
| done TO correct the mischief Judge iundy OF The
police court In the trial IN that court found this
prisoner Jackson guilty OF larceny and as Judge
Bundy was right IN tho law. IL Is to he sincerely
| hoped uat If another such case SnOull originate
| IN his court he will not change his ruling or his
| opinions. except upon full conference with the
judicial authorities Of the District and severe
| and scrutnOuS revision of lhu case.
| This note IS written by an old lawyer, with no
| view 10 disparage the court or the District utior
| ucy, for each OF whom the writer untCrtuins the
most profound respect. Il Is just such u CaScSpOn
| which the bcst judges and lawyers might disagree
| but the weight of authority aud common sense re-
| quirc that the defendant should have been cou-
| yicted. The very case read by defendants cuun-
| sci shows that the defendant should have been
