There were only eleven cases for trial at the Courts yesterday and as only two of them proceeded forward to judge or jury all were disposed of by lunchtime. There were three cases of grand larceny, two of petty larceny, one of arson, one of forgery, and one of disorderly conduct, and the longest sentence of any was fourteen months passed on an ancient offender for the theft of a solid gold umbrella in the midst of last week's lashing storm.
