a Eina Law Point,

"Do you know anything about law?"
nonchalantly remarked the drummer TO
the postal clerk.
NO" replied the innocent.
"Well, ignorance of the law is no ex-
cuse," laughed the drummer, "but that
is not what am here for. want to ten
you Of fine law point recently saw
decided by justice OF the peace In In
diana. You don't know, Of course, "
and the drummer looked as il he were
very sorry for the clerk. $50 I'll tell you
the law in Indiana is II man steals
fruit from the tree, corn from the stalk
or potatoes from the hill, he can only be
held for trespass; but if the property
becomes detached from the realty and
is then taken, he may be held for lar
ceny, and is a serious offense."
The clerk nodded as If he knew per-
fectly the difference between reality
and larceny.
Last week." continued the drum
mer, ~ was in that state and one after
noon 1 dropped into a Justices court,
where a man was being examined for
stealing a bag OF potatoes. The justice
was a new one, and the prisoner was an
old offender, and the crowd room seemed
anxious to see how the novice was going
to deport himself on his first case.
They also wanted to see the
prisoner get a dose that he deserved,
for they had all suffered by him
and not few bets were laid that the
new squire couldn't do any better with
the law than his predecessors had done.
1t was clear case against the prisoner,
for the owner of the potatoes had chased
him out of the field, seen him throw
the bag over the fence, get over after
it, pick II up and disappear In the woods
adjoining, but could not capture the
thief, as he was old and lame. The
prisoner was smiling for the trespasS
penalty was light and he had been
caught but once"
come to the point, will you?" kindly
suggested the clerk.
"By and BY" responded thee drum
mer. THE case being as have stated,
and the learned justice having heard
the testimony, to the surprise and pleas
ure of everybody except the thief, held
the prisoner for larceny, for, said he,
while it is JreSpass to steal potatoes
from the hill, its larceny to steal them
when they are separated from the real
ty, and l hold that ii was trespass until
he threw them over the fence and sep
arated them from the realty, then when
he picked them up again, on the far
side OF the fence, the offense became
larceny and 1 shall hold the prisoner for
larceny"
whether it was good law or not"
continued the drummer, 81 am not here
to say, but 1t went just the same and it
paralyzed the prisoner"
