Nascehuk with assault, but the case was dismissed with costs. E. Calerman, brought back from Montreal some days previously, faced a charge of theft in connection with goods taken from S. Bucovetsky‘s store last November. ‘Mr. Bucovetâ€" sky described the way the store had been robbed, and also explained how he had missed goods from stock. A coat that was gone, for instance, had been of somewhat unusual design and had been a ‘‘poor seller.‘‘ He had purchased a whole stock of a certain line of men‘s shirts and on the disâ€" covery of the robbery he noted that some of these were gone, the empty boxes being left Jying on the floor. He kept close check on his stock and so knew that a quantity of goods had been taken at the time of the robâ€" bery. He instanced the case of a half a dozen leather suit cases armving® just a few days before the robbery and being missing after the robbery TWO SEXTENCED FOR THEFT OTHER CASES AT COURT was â€" discovered. [Mr. _ Bucovetsky identified goods recovered by the police as goods in his stock previous to the robbery. ‘Other witnesses told of purchasing articles from Calerman who told them he was simply selling *these things to raise money to go to Montreal. ‘One witness told of seeing Balance at credit of Profit and Loss Account, brought forward from last year esn oys Net profits for the year ending 30th Novemâ€" ber, after providing for all bad and doubtâ€" To THE PUBLIC Notes of the Bank in circulation Deposits not bearing interest......

Calerman desied the charge, but his story, or stories, were confused and contradicâ€" tory, so much so indeed, that Mr. D. W. O‘Sullivan who was his solteitor in the beginning of the case withdrew from the defence as he found his client was not showing the proper confidence or fairness as hbetween solicitor and client. Magistrate Atâ€" kinson found Calerman guilty and sentenced him to not less than 6 months or more than 18. A charge against R. Adlen of drivâ€" ing an auto past a funeral procession was naturally dismissed. Mr. Allen did no{ drive an auto past a funeral. and even if he had it would not be a breach of the law. W. H. Wilson was the chief and only witness for the prosecution, having heen the one to take the complaint to the police. For years past ‘‘Sceotty‘‘ has been the regular Raney of the North in watching and reporting minor breachâ€" es of the motor laws.

(The acâ€" cused is out on bail. In addition there are a number of new cases. The cases have the spice of variety, and there is a regular conglomeration, from having liquor to being insane, and from being drunk to possessing a still. A Norwegian, who was acting peculiarly, to say the least, was arâ€" rested on Monday and lodged in the cells here. He will be examined as to his sanity. The local police this week mided a house in Moneta and obâ€" tained a couple of bottles in the trunk of one man rooming in the house. Another in the house was found to be carrying improper picâ€" tures. A regular still was found by the police in another case.
