cents found on the boy last evening when
he was arrested, testified to what he had
made that evening in his particular line.
Judge Scott looked over the boy and said
he would not convict him of vagrancy, as
he was too young to be vagrant, but
should charge of incorrigibility be sub

good This was done.
Mr. Copp of the board of chldren's guar
