 Another Chance for Governor Hill. l DANBURY, Feb. 27.--Steps have already been taken by the officials here to make application for acquisition papers in the case of John w. Solburt, charged with stealing horse and carriage from the barn of William Thompson on Tuesday night, and who was arrested at Brewster and now lies in the county jail at Carmel, | N. Y. It is probable that requisition will not be granted by Governor Hill, as he re- | fused to issue papers in the case of Pardon, | the Waterbury burglar. If this is the case it is said the prisoner will undoubtedly be i brought to Connecticut without requis- tion, and the officer who brings him across the line will rely upon Governor Bulkeley to refuse requisition to have him (the of- ficer) taken back to New York state.
