TOOK STOLEN GOODS FROM HIMSELF
A CURIOUS ANOMALY IN THE CoURTs-A NEW
TRIAL ORDERED.

TRIAL ORDERED.
The judgment rendered in the singular case of
Michael Brien, convicted In the Court of General
sessions of receiving stolen property has been reversed
by the General Term of the Supreme Court The
defendant and appellant engaged Williams TO
obtain from Of the public stores certain mer-
chandse and gave him for that purpose forged orders
in form such required to obtain its possession.
He indicted Jointly with Williams for larceny
and for crminally receiving stolen property and was
tried separately At the close of the case for the
prosecution the Recorder ruled out the counts for
larceny and submitted the charge those for receiv
ing property knowing it to be stolen. The appellant
was found guilty and the curious anomaly is presented
of the conviction of a man for receiving from him
self goods stolen by him.
Justice Brady, who wrote The opinion Of the court
says there be doubt OF the appellants partici
patton in the crime by which the goods were obtained
and adds The property was not stolen by the
persons from whom 1t received and could not
be received stolen property unless which has never
been held in this country the felonous taking con-
suted, go instante, feOniOus receiving, and made
Two offences out of one act, each apparently ncon-
sistent with the other II is quite apparent that
the errors complained of sprung from the assumption
that Williams the only thief and this foundation
made the whole supers tructure false The judgment
must be reversed and new trial had

SEVERAL APPRAISERS DECISIONS.
THE QUESTION OF "wooL wAsTE"-s1LvER
PLATED WIRE NOT METAL THREADS.

THE QUESTION OF "WOOL WASTE "-SILVEK
PLATED WIRE NOT METAL THREADS
At the Appraisers conference yesterday several
important decisions were made. There was first a
long discussion upon the classification Of galnetted
waste" There Is a difference Of opinion among the
merchants of the wool trade as TO what the duty
should lie on wool waste and also as TO what con-
stitutcs that material. Waste wool now pays duty
of ten cents and garnetted wool thirty. Waste wool
Is manufactured into garnetted wool, and the ap-
praiscrs considered whether this gametted waste
should not pay fun duty. They decided that the
waste" covered by paragraph SCI of
the tariff was only such waste as
was naturally made in the progress of man
ufacurng woollen worsted yarns and fabrics, and
not the products of the manufacture from waste,
such so-ca3lcd garnettcd and caibonetted wool.
Tie appraisers also considered an appeal with re-
gard to article that imported as soap-stock
This is entered duty free, bur owing TO the peculiar
color Of this shipment 1t was held by The appraiser
here On analysis it found that the soap stock
was grease, and the Board ordered a duty of ten
cents pound on the shipment.
Another appeal acted on. that by a Philadel.
phia firm Which classcd goods a, metal
threads. The appraisers, however on examination
OF the articles decided that they were silver plated
wire and dutiable al As and 80 per cent The con-
ference goes on today at 10 a. m.
