It was discovered that tt had previousiy been robbed Of some valuables, some of which were found concealed near by.

He thought it his duty in this ease to affix the punishment at not less than three year’s imprisonment. The prisoner was not without the power of appeal to the executive. By the Lagis-- lative enactments kindred cases are punished by imprisonment and labor in the peniten- tiary from two to eight years.
