The sentence imposed of fifteen days in the ty prison seems justified in the circumstances as cal- ulated to check an evil the growth of which to a point where it muat excite surprise has been encouraged by ‘the leniency hitherto shown to prisoners arraigned on this charge. It is to the interest of the shopper no less in the merchant to have a restraint put on depreda- a dons which at any time may cast suspicion on an in- _-Rocent buyer, It is evidence of the high estimation in which fem- ¢ inine honesty is held that customers of large stores are Bow favored with almost limitless credit.

The Abbot could have found | &@ New York policoman who gained admission to the bar ‘while on the force.
