nue officers OF the Commonwealth can be

the act OF Assembly approved February q,
1874, entitled an oct to prevent the fraudu-
| lent conversions OF money or property, dc.
The act OF February "a, 1874, was reenacted
and INCORPORATED into the general act ap-
proved March IA, 1917, known as the crmi-
nal. procedure act. The slid act OF Febru-
airy a. 1874, was before the Court OF APP
peaIs in April last in the case OF Shinn Us.
The Commonwealth. Shinn had been con-
yicted and sentenced in the Hastings Court
OF Alexandra for the larceny OF s653.50.
The larceny was committed by embezzing
a check for the above amount. the property
Of the Alexandria Cooperation Building
! Association, Of Alexandra, Va, OF which

ment in the penltentiary for three years.
