uniform. was acquitted of the charge of
robbery by a jury in Justice Wright's
court
He was charged with relieving Marion
Williams a Virginia farmer, Of two
watches and s65 on December 10 last
Two days later Williams reported his loss
to the police. Garrison in the meantime
pawned the watch, which, however, was
recovered.
The first time the case was called Gar

ing that he was sick. The case was post
poned until February &c, and when it was
called the sailor failed to answer. His
