It haa been very properly said that if there were no receivers there weold be no thie 7es— certainly if thee were no receivers, the crime of iarcevy would be very much diminished, for generally the p«rpe- trators of that offence did not expose the plunder for ea 6.

It was only when they were convicted that their true character was known. Children were targht by these receivers to be thievos, and the parents of these infants who had beeu invelgiod into these dens were watcbing the progress of the trial with interest; and it was a matter in which every citizeu ip this community was interested. The benefit of example in those cases ‘was very much needed in New York.
