The contention existing between the
townships of Pemberton and New Hano-
yer over the road running between the
townships, and which had been settled by
commissioners lately appointed by the
court, reached its final termination Fri
day, when Judge Gaskill signed the nu-
merous orders and other papers. A coun-

kinson, who represented New Hanover,
and one of $40 was granted E. P. Budd,
who appeared for Pemberton.
Micaiah E. Matlack appeared for Geo.
Giberson, who was arrested short while
ago for non-support of his family, and
who has since languished in Jail, and
tried to get the court to discharge the
prisoner. A later date was set for the
hearing.
In the criminal court several prisoners
who desired trial before the Judge with
out jury, waived indictments and APP
peared
| Andrew Maneeley, tall, husky pine
hawker, was first placed before the bar.
He was charged with the larceny of 50
| from the cash drawer of Denness d Da-
Wis, of Mount Holly. He pleaded non
vult contendere, and made complete de-
NAL of the accusation. From his story it
was learned that he lived near Magnolia,
and came to Mount Holly on the day of
the robbery to sell huckleberries. He
quickly disposed of his stock and hastily
proceeded to transfer the money into
liquor. The latter was consumed and
''the blank" came as he was walking up
Mill street. When he came to the next
morning in jail he was told by Deputy
Fleetwood what he was in for That was
all he knew of the affair. He further
stated that he had never been arrested
before Ex-Chief of Police Denness was
in court and when called upon said he
found Maneeley with his hand in the till.
Considering that sufficient evidence he
struck him a blow in the mouth and then
arrested him. The Judge agreed with
Mr. Denness and sentenced Maneeley to
sixty days in the county jail
Norman Gaines, young colored boy,
who has been giving his parents all kinds
of trouble the past few months, was ar
raigned for stealing money from Robert
Street. At the wish of his parents he was
committed to the Reform School.
John H. Davis, charged with the lar
ceny of horse and wagon, the property
of John Forsyth, Jr., pleaded not guilty
and stated his story also 1t was the same
old story of few dollars and quart OF
rum He forgot himself after he had
borrowed the rig, and when he awakened
he was also in the Mount Holly Jail. The
Prosecutor did not push the case and he
was discharged.
Frank Stricken, arrested for the larceny
of articles belonging to Edward Newell,
of White Hill, and George Bauer, charg-
ed with receiving stolen goods, were next
placed on trial. Stricken admitted steal
ing some of the goods but denied having
gotten away with milk can full of milk.
The waiver contained count for break
ing and entering, which was also denied
The goods were found in Bauer's house,
but after hearing several witnesses the
court deemed the evidence insufficient to
hold Bauer and he was discharged Strick-
err was unable to explain his case salts
factorily and he was given six months IN
the county Jail. Later Stricker's sister
appeared and asked the court to fine him,
stating she would pay all the COSTS Judge
| GaSKlll refused W pldCc d uHO III uiO S"oN,
stating to the young lady that he did not
think it wise on her part to want to pay
the fine of worthless brother.
John Moore was charged with the lar
ceny of two coats at dance held last 4th
of July at Browns Mills. 1t appears that
Moore had gone to the dance and finding
it rather warm had taken his coat of and
given it to some one to keep for him. La
ter another friend asked him to bring his
coat also when he (Moore) came home
About two O'Clock in the morning Moore
went after the coats, and finding two to-
gether he took them by mistake The
coats were returned later to the rightful
owners. M. E. Matlack appeared for
Moore, who was discharged by the court.
