A YOUTHFUL HORSE THIEF.-Wil1iam II. Docket
the youthful colored horse thief who was arrested
In Maryland day or two ago for the larceny OF a
horse in this city on the 18th OF last month"; from
Louisa st. John, gypsy, was in the dock at the
Police Court this morning, charged with larceny.
He said he was only ten years old the day he was
| arrested. He fearlessly pleaded guilty to the
charge OF stealing the horse, and took his sentence
| OF six months in jail with much nonchalance as
an Old offender. Prosecuting Attorney Moore told
the court that he refralned from prosecuting the
prisoner for the more grave charge Of grand lar
ceny, or horseStealtng, on account OF his extreme
youth, and only asked for the maximum sentence
for petit larceny. The court said that as the
form school was full, and the boy had no parents
who seemed TO exercise any control over him, not
withstanding his YOUTH the Jail would be as good
q place for him for TIE next six months as any
other place.
