law, for kidnapping a child under the
age of ID years lends peculiar interest to

dren, aged s and years. Cramfield
was nurseryman employed by r. S.
Johnston, of near Georgetown, and he is
the first person arrested under the new
statute. He has been committed to Jail
without bail by Magistrate Purnell
1t is understood that Cramfield has EN-
ployed counsel and will take immediate
steps for release on habeas corpus pro.
ceedings, upon the ground that the
mother of the children, their guardian
pro tempore. spirited the two children.
and that her relationship released either
of them from liability.
