B.Moore was appointed judge, and, after J. L. Savoie, sheriff had empaneled a jury the case was proceeded with. N. Nadeau, prosecuting witness was then called on the stand; raid he was sitting in his store about 9 or 10 o'clock when he noticed a man meandering in the direction of his chicken coop with bag in his hand and afterwards saw the defendant go in his coop and take from the roost his bag full of chickens, did not know his coop had been robbed till the next morning; described the stolen chickens by saying they were alive and had feathers on when he sawtliem lest; did not know whether they ware hens or roosters.

Soms startling facts were brought to light by the defendant's witnesses, which proved him innocent and showed the plaintiff up in his true light. The facts in the case are that Mr. Nadeau had concocted a scheme to get young Roland into a chicken stealing scrape and cause disgrace to fall upon him, which would enable him to beat the defendant out of his girl, whom Na-deau adored, but Nadeau got hold of a long neck bottle filled with ardent, and got so full that he did not know whether he was Xadeau or the other fellow.
