Joseph Fitzsmorris of Carratunk, en-
tered a complaint against Charles Ford,
Dennis Leo and John w. Wheeler, Tues
day, alleging that they stole money to
the amount of $2S, from his pockets
while he was intoxicated. Warrant was
issued and they were brought before
Trial Justice, o. r. Bachelor. After
vigorous denials on the part of Ford and
Leo, who are boys about l6 years old,
they acknowledged that they had ab
stracted about three dollars from the
pockets Of the complainant. There was
no evidence that Wheeler had anything
to do with the larceny, but there was
evidence that he was at the time in Hills
stable, where the larceny took place.
The amount being above $40, the justice
could only hold the parties for the grand
Jury in September or discharge them.
and upon agreement that the three par
ties accused would refund TO Fitzsmor-
ris the $2S, he took the latter course
and the county pays costs amounting to
ten or dozen dollars, to be charged up
