Ills RECORD AGAINST HIM.
An old Pcnitentiary Bird on Trial for
RObbery,

The trial Of Theodore W. Handy, young
white man with a penitentiary record, for
the larceny Of q silver watch valued nj S25
from John j. llalstcad, II West Nirginian
on visit to this city, on the 3d of March
last, was begun in the criminal court yester-
day afternoon.
The prosecuting witness, llalstcad, told
his story as that of Il cOuntryman being
ileeccd by q confidence man. lie cane to
this city on business connected Nth Il
patent, and on the day in question, while
coming down Il street from visit to SEN
ator Kenna's room at the capitol, he was
met by Handy, who approached him in n
familiar manner llastead was taken in
and believed that he had met some one who
knew him. After short talk, they visited
n saloon, where Handy treated Then he
says that Handy told him to look him
lHondy) In the eye, This he did, aud
Handy grabbed the watch from witncss's
pocket and ran of. lie pursued him out of
the saloon and down tile street some dis
tance, and finally caught up with him and
demanded the watch For reply Handy
knocked him down. An officer then an
rested Handy, but the watch has not rs yet

government
For the defense Maj. Walker claimed

gnia, That he met Handy and asked him
for 10 cents to get a drink. Handy took
hm to saloon and treated him. While

PROTECTION DON'T PROTECT.
Judge Smell Accepts the Fishermen,
Side of the Story,

sue VI the Storys
Under the heading "Where Protection
Protects" there was printed in the REpuB
LICAN yesterday morning report of the
great good accruing from the act which
went into effect March 2, 1856, providing for
the protection of shad and herring in the
waters of the Potomac river in the District
Of Columbia.
BY strange coincidence at about the
same time that the copy for this item was
in the hands of the compOsitOrs two violat-
ors of this law were in the hands of the
police, and being brought from the river
above the Long bridge, and nearly in front
of Arlington, to this city.
They were arraigned before Judge Smell,
and the two officers who apprehended them
swore that they Were taking the net into the
boat when found, and that shad We're found
in the hoat and others seen to be thrown out.
The net was wet, and there was every evil
dcnce OF fishing having been done within Il
few minutes.
The two defendants came to the stand,
however. and sworc that the fish were taken
in the neighborhood of Fort Foote.
The place in which they were captured
is about two miles above GiesborO', the
place at which they turned of to 60 up the
river, instead of coming into the wharf
from which they started, and to reach
which, after going over the route they
sworc they had gone TO capture half dozen
shad, they must have rowed at the very
least eighteen miles, four of which were
entirely out of their way.
The court thought, however. that the
government had failed TO make its case,
and the poachers were dismissed.
This is the fourth time that arluous, cner-
getic labor on the part of the police to try
and enforce the provisions of the law has
come to naught in the police court, and
they feel much discouraged about trying to
enforce il further.
