fused to make any further statements.
whereupon Mr.. Carleton directed that
a warrant be procured and that the
man be prosecuted for having trout

When the officers went to serve the
warrant the man in question changed
his mind and willingly told all that he
knew about the matter, which result

having done the work at the pound.
