A Load OF Hay and Law.

The Havre de Grace Republican
gives the following account of a
business transaction which was
responsible for lots of law:
Andrew S. Bailey, colored, of
near Bel Air, having sold a load of
hay to Moses Waters, also colored,
and being unable to collect the
money, proceeded to Waters barn
and reloaded the hay on his wagon
and brought it back to his own
barn. Waters had Bailey arrested
and Justice Creswell committed
him to the House of Correction for
three months for larceny. The
justness of Bailey's action in re-
claiming the hay for which Waters
refused to pay, was generally rec
ognized, but it remained for Mr..
Harry S. Carver, one of Bel Airs
brightest lawyers, to find a legal
way out of the difficulty. He had
Bailey brought before Judge Van
Bibber and argued that the magis-
trate had no right to try and SEN
tence prisoner charged with
larceny. Contention promptly sus-
tanned by the Judge, and Bailey
was released, owing to the shrewd-
ness of his lawyer and to the grati-
fication of his neighbors.
