BARTLEY DrRANT DISCHARGED.

BARLEY Durant was in CITY Court yes-
to-day morning on an old charge of steal
ing brass from the firm Of O'Brien & She
ham. He was arrested in September with
a number of other boys and at that time
Frank MCkanna and Joseph Mequin were
sentenced to the Industrial school at YER
genneS for the remainder Of their minor
ity. Jake Shelley was also in the crowd
but the case against him was nollc prOss-
cd.
At the trial it appeared that Durant was
not as guilty as the other boys and sem
tcnce in his case was suspended pending
his good behavior. The matter has been
continued from time to time and the boy =
conduct has been such that the case
against him was nolle pressed yesterday.
