effect Jan !, 1883, exempts the wages Of
workingmen TO the amount Of $50 from at
tachment for debt This provision was not
TO apply TO any debt due june /, 1887. Judge
Pardee says:
"Ihis Legislation Is IN the interest Of the

Therefore 1t concerns itself solely with the
debt due from the employer TO the laborer.

CHARGE AND COUNTER CHARGE

terestinR Developments.
WILL1MANTIC, Conn, Dec 1S-The Royce
trial, now in progress here, has been full OF
interesting developments. II r. Royce was
treasurer Of the Willlmantic Savings institu-
non for twenty yearA He was one of the
foremost men in the community, was treas.
urer OF the Electric Light company, aud did
a heavy private brokerage business Rumors
OF irregularities In his accounts had been rife
for year, and last year he was suspended
by the state bank examiners, and indicted on
a charge of having embezsled $4,000 and
falsitled the books Of tho bank.
The trial began last Tuesday. The prose
cution proved that certain notes entored by
Royce were falsa Three expert accountants
testified that false entries In Royce's ac.
counts apparently covered shortage of
$4,000 ia one case, 5000 In another and
s., $50 In another.
The case looks very black for Royce, but
Friday he went on thu stand in his own be-
half aud made a sensation by admitting that
the entries described were all false, and
claiming that they and tho fictitious notes
and drafts were made for tho sole purpose OF
eoncealing from the state bank examiners
certain bad paper held by the bank. He de
clares that the false entries cover no defalca-
tion or shortage, but simply notes of J. H.
and NJ. f. Ingersoll, Of New York city, for
$4,000, which notes are still running.
The prosecution, on the other hand, point
to Sl44,O 900 Of worthless Ingersoll paper which
Royce brought into the bank by Investments

gain They also charge him with letting
