in the Orange County Court began VIII
the case of State vs.. Adelbert Albin, an in
dictment under the blanket act for being
found February s, 1888, in bed together
with Kate Tossie, alias Taisey, his hired
girl, under circumstances affording pre-
/ sumption of illicit intercourse. Both were
indicted at last June term, and both tried
her trial resulting in a conviction, and his
in disagreement of the jury which stood
10 to 2 against him. She was sentenced 10
two years in the House Of Correction. At
ter 80 hours confinement the jury was dis
! charged, being unable 10 agree. State

son for the respondent. II is understood
| the jury stood eight for acquittal and that
OF the rest three would have joined the
majority had not the fourth been deter
mined TO prevent a verdict.
The next case was State VS.. Carl G. Eks-
from and James Foley, an Indictment for
| burglary of tine shop OF Ctas. Godfrey at
the upper end OF Chelsea village April 6,
1888, and taking therefrom several chisels,
| bits and hit-sloeK. This case also was
tried at June term last, resulting in dis
| agreement Of the jury. The States evil
| dence tended to show that both respon-
dents were seen about the village that eY-
ening at the town pump, and Eoley's no.
| tel and at the upper end OF Main street,
leaning against fence within a few rods
OF the shop, that both were seen upon
| Buck bridge just beyond the shop about 5
O'Clock in the evening, and were followed
down the sidewalk soon after, though the
| time fixed by the witnesses who said they
! saw respondents at Buck bridge, and by
those who said they saw them afterward
at the pump were inconsistent. The next
morning two men were seen coming out
of the Tracy barn half mile or more be-
| low Chelsea village on the road to STRAIT
ford, along which two men were after
wards seen walking. At the Tracy barn
next forenoon two chisels and bit be-
| longing to Godfrey were found under two
i feet of hay in bag and beneath an ever
green bush, 60 rods from the barn. Up
/ the STAFFORD road beside a brook the Bit
stock was found. The respondents claim
ed that they did not stop at this barn at
all, but a mile or two beyond where they
| built a fire of the road in the pasture and
/ spent the night. The jury, however, after
] % hours deliberation brought in verdict
| of guilty. Exceptions viii be filed and
1 the case taken to the Supreme Court. The
| respondents have been returned TO State
! prison for safe keeping. States Attorney
! Denison and J. X. Darling for State; Geo.
! Stow and r. M. Harvey for respondents.
| The next case was State VS.. Allen II.
| Flint Jr. an indictment for assault and
battery, Of Levi Thayer, an old man OF "a
| years, at Braintree, July 26, 1SSS. II APP
| peared that Thayer and Earl s. Cushman,
! for whom respondent worked, occupied
| for COW stables the different ends OF the
same barn and used the same COW yard.
Respondent caught Thayer pursuing his
| favorite pastime of daubing Cushman's
stable door with fresh COW manure, there
upon stepped out and repealed with his
| fist the blow Thayer aimed at him with
his milk pail. Thence came the bloody
| cash over Thayer's right eye so the re-
| spondent said. But the jury thought diff
| ferently and rendered their verdict OF gull
| ty. The court inflicted a hne of $40 and
costs, the latter amounting to $50 which
was paid and young Allen went his way
rejoicing. Denison ana Darling for State,
| n. l.. Boyden and r. Nj. Harvey for res
pendent.
Perley Kimball was brought into court
on an Indictment for burglary of few old
coins from a neighbours house in West
Randolph, committed when he was but IL
years old. On account OF the respondents
youth, his good behavior since the crime
was committed, the guarantees from Mr..
Holman, nom whom the articles were ta-
| ken, Mr.. Ross and MIR. Buck and his en-
ployer as to his reformation, and the fact
blind mother was dependent on Perley
and a younger son for support, Judge
Rowell after administering well consider
ed advice ordered thecase not tobe brought
forward.
The case of State against Locklin, appel
liant, then began trial. This was a COM
plant for selling liquor TO one Cram, who
after drinking at the bar in the saloon,
took away something in a bottle, which
by the time Cram reached Brookheld,
made him SO drunk as TO damage his sis
ter's furniture considerably. When him
self prosecuted for drunkenness Cram dis
closed on Locklin and he appealed from
the Justices judgment of guilty. Grams
recollection seemed very deficient this
term as he could not either identity Lock-
lin or tell the place where he bought the
liquor But the jury inferred what the
evidence did not supply and brought in a
verdict OF guilty. A motion to set aside
the verdict because against the evidence
was overruled and Locklin concluded to
pay his fine SIS and costs, taxed at $50.
Denison and Darling for State, q. w.
Wing and A. G.. Fay for respondent.
The next and last trial was State VS.. JEFF
ferson Flint OF STAFFORD for manufactur-
ing liquor. Respondent claimed that all
he did was to let Nathan Carpenter run
through his still pint of old cider brandy
but the jury said he was guilty and he was
fined 500 and costs. Darling for respond
ent.

and buggy and he was sent to State prison
for five years.
