In the City Court yesterday morning Henry
 J. Dodge, alias Henry G. Pearson, was tried
 for obtaining, as is alleged, by false pretenses
 and forged check, about fifty dollars worth
 of books and seveaty-five dollars in cash from
 Edward P. Judd, the bookseller, about one
 year ago. Therewere two charges against
 the accused-one was for obtaining goods under false token, and the other for uttering forged check on Edward F. Judd. Although Dodge protested against the case being tried yesterday, he pleaded not guilty after the in formation was read to him. The evidence against the accused was so clear that Judge Pardee found probable cause, and bound the prisoner over to the April term of the Su- perior Court under $1 ,0OO bonds. The bonds were not furnished and Dodge was re manded to jail to await trial.
