The Presi dent was authorized to instruct the Constable to notify all places of business not to sell cigars, tobacco, soda, ('rinks or any unnecessary goods on Sunday.

Yorge says that there was an account between himself and Koup, and that Itoup owed him ten or eleven dollars on that, while Koup soys that tho'bal anco was the other way a dispute between these two agents as to which owed tho other. Larceny is the folonlous taking nnd carrying away of tho personal property of another. From this definition it is evident that if tho taker honestly claims the property to bo his own, he cannot bo guilty of larceny. Whose wns this property? The paper, whatever It was, was In Koup'a possession; It stood in his name, stands In his nnmo yet. Ho had represented, per haps, that ho had transferred it, but that was to obtain somo advantago between himself and Yorge, who never had either title or posses sion, and from whom, therefore, there could be no "taking away." But it is said that Ihe defendant may be con victed of hrcenv as a bailee. A bailee is one who recsives from tho owner a personal chattel to be kept or used und relumed Io tho owner. By virtua of a statute of this State, onowho has received tho property of another an a bailee, and converts it to his own nse, may be in dieted for larceny as a bailee. One who bor rows property of another, and eelis It or other wiso converts it to his own use, is guilty of lar ceny as a bailee. But where ouo has agreed to obtain property fcr anolhor, as his agent, does S3 pnrllv atliin own cxponso, nnd then refuses to deliver it till he is reimbursed, he is not guilty of larceny as a bailee If he endeavors to use his possession Io cheat Iho alleged owner out of his properly, he may he guilty of larceny a bailee, provided such alleged owner has lillo carrying the right of possession. Larceny cannot be committed of an article that has no value. It becomes important to inquiro whether ihe policy in question is to be esteemed a valuable thing In 1S7G a law was passed, entitled "An Act for tho Incorpo ration and Regulation of Insurance Companies."

CHAIIOK OF THE COURT. Uentlemkn of the Jury: There is upon the statute-book a law making it a crime fcr one person to obtain from unothcr, by mtocs of false pretenses, any money or oilier valuable thing. This statute, first passed in this State in 1812, is a transcript of an English statute pased in the reign of George III. , and had re ceived by the English tribunals a construction, which, after its adoption here, was followed by our courts; Iho statute being considered a salu tary one, because by means of falsehood and insurance companies are; olhorwise tho act is silent in regard to them makes no provision for thiir government, and gives no definition of their power. Within the last year there have been incorporated, according to the report of the Insurance Commission, one hundred and thirty-one life assessment companies, five of I which are located in Union county, whore Ihe Now Berlin Mutual Relief Association is Bi tu tted. It is manifest that theso companies are not organized in such number Io supply any public want or for any beneficial purpose. Judging by the practices of many of the com- pan ief, as reported by tho Insurance Commis sion, it would be fair to say that their motive is pecuniary greed. No doubt some of theso companies have been organized for the purpose of affording Ihe ben efits of a good safe Insurance to themselves and their fellow citizens; but Iho larger part oi them, it is to bo feared, have been organized Io enable (heir officers to make monoy and to Light Street. july 15-Gm At the camp fire of Capt.

If Roup pretended that he could procure a pol icy on the llfo of Iloech, was not that true Did he not in fact obtain one, tskpn in tho name ot John Wesley Beech, and transferred Io himself, Roup, who held it with the power of making an assignment? I havo mado these remarks, bccau8 tlietjom tnonwealth must establish the complaint jupf as laid in her indictment But it has been held by the courts, ever since (hit statute was pased, that a mere naked He la not a falsa pretenre In Commonwealth JIutchiiiBon, 2 Par son'a Roport', 816, Judge King, an eminent. jurist, approvingly cited an hogllsb decision under the statute of which ours It a transcript, to the following effect ''A representation that a person could or would do a particular act, as that lie could or would get a bill discounted, though he knew he could not, Is not a false pretense wljIn the act, but rather a breach of promise." The false pretense mint have relation to some fist jn ejfUjence at tho lime of the alleged fulsohQoJ, widj&iaqaut lo ecoaethuig mora than Kiti good lives, but lo reek out and apply for bad risks upon bad lives the nearer the grave tho better, ihe risk; those, having reanonable prospects of an early demise bring, in general, tliu only ones wanted If such be the conduct fthef-e companies, then they tolerate, if they do not maintain, mischief worse than the lot tery, worse than the faro-table, worse than any other form of gambling; for theirs is gambling in human life, and furnishes the strongest in centive to still higher crimes. The framers of his act never could iiave intended to permit practices so contrary to Iho general policy of the law and so corrupting in their influence upon public morals. Tbe speculative fever caused by the number and nature of these com panies has seized upon all classes, until It has come to he believed by many that a short road to wealth has been discovered. This is a delu- ion, of which, nb doubt, sad experience will, In the end, convinco the victims, who will then wonder how thoy could havo boen no easily cheat! d. Is the policy described in this indictment a Yulid legal Instrument? It was obtained at the nslancu of Yorgo, Iho proseculor,upon tho hfo of a man whom he had never aeon. Was it ob tained upon him becaueo of his advanced age, he then being feventy-alx,and of tbe consequent probability that he could not long survive , and would therefore bo a good Bubject whose death wou(d mako very speedy return for all the Investments that were made on his life? Was that ihe reason, Ihe object and the pur pose of obtaining this policyT I say to you- gen tlemon of ihe jury, that, If such was the gtse the wholo proceedpig was against the policy of the law. The policy-holder was not a relative .f William Becchi William Beech owed him nothing; he bad, therefore, no inlerest in the life of William Beech; on the contrary, if be or auy of his assignees bad any interest at all, it waa an Interest in the death of William Iloech.
