The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1915-10-26

Judge Lippincott sat at the couI
house Tuesday to consider election maj
tiers, and during the lull in the proceed
ings he gave attention to some crimina
cases.
Roy Fenimore stole horse from
Frank Banks, at Pemberton, on Septem
Der IA. He later went to Chesterfield
where he left the Banks horse in ex
change for one belonging to Harry Bel
derman, without the latter's consent.
He was captured by policeman Myers
of Mount Holly, and as he did not hav'
any excuse to offer for his act, and haC
already served term in the Reform
school, the court thought the best plac,
for him was the Railway reformatory
The next man to stand up was Ray
mond Seth. He hired horse from Viii
liam Madden, of Mount Holly, for the
stated purpose of going to New Egypt
He did go there, where he secured the
company Of young lady, and they
took long drive around the country,
finally being caught at Windsor. AT
that place he sold the rig to man for
s25. The latter gave the team up, but
wanted to know where he was going to
get his $25. He was not given any salts
faction on that point, but any man ac-
quainted with horses and wagons ought
to have known that the rig was worth
more than the price paid for it. In the
eyes of Judge Lippincott it was clear
case of stealing, and Seth was sent to
Railway.
An opinion has been rendered by
Judge Lippincott in the employers liza
bility case of the administrator of
Thomas Rogan against the city of Bur
lington. Rogan was policeman, and
was killed while in the discharge of his
duty. The defence was that Hogan did
not come under the provisions of the
act respecting employees. The court gave
the case most careful attention and rem
dered an opinion that covered every
point and allowed for objections and ex-
captions if the other side cared to con-
test. In the meantime the city will pay
Mrs. Rogan $3.50 for 300 weeks.
