A WARNING TO PETTY THIEVES FROM JUDGE
WYLIE.-Judge Wylie, this morning in the Criml-
1nal Court, bad before him the OF Milly Pey-
ton, a cOlored girl, charged with petit larceny
second offence tOf ladies' clOak>. She was con-
vcted in 1879 in the Police Court, and was after
wards on a charge OF second offence, sentenced to
one year In the penitentiary. This was her third
offence, She was convicted, and the court in SEN
fencing her remarked that one year sentences in
the penitentary did not seem to be Of much
service, for the prisoner was not paying any at
tentiOn to learning a trade, but was continually
looking forward To release. She had had years
experience Without any good enect, and young
she was she appeared to be old In sin. She could
therefore, go to the penitentiary at Albany for
three years, and perhaps might learn something.
