had been hired to go to Bordentown,
and had not returned. He naturally be-
came anxious about the team and the
started out to look it up. The
man who hired the rig, possibly hearing
the officer was looking for him, came
back. He had been to Crosswicks, Al
lentown, and other places, but as long
as he brought the horse home he thought
it was all right. He was shown, how

horse and drive it further than the place
designated when the hiring is done.
The young man was held to see what
will be done by the grand jury.
