State VS.. Charles Blair; burglary. The
States attorney filed an information al
leging that the respondent and John
Flint one night last June entered the
house Of James Welch. an old man who
lives in Hancock, and stole a sum of
money. Blair pleaded guilty, whereupon
james NJ. Slade asked in his behalf that
as light a sentence as was consistent with
the public good be imposed. The re-
spondcnt, he said, was young and had al

two years imprisonment in the House of
