Court Notes.

. The trial of James Warner for the lar
ceny of wagon in the possession of VIII
liam NJ. Young was begun for the second
time in the common pleas division of the
Supreme Court this afternoon. The
wagon is alleged to have been stolen last
December, and the defendant denies that
the wagon found in his possession is the
wagon that was stolen from Young.
Young claims that the wagon alleged to
have been stolen was repainted in order
TO make the identity of the wagon impos-
siblc.
The trial OF the case was begun several
weeks ago, but owing to the absence of
some witnesses had to be postponed at
that time.
