Have Trial Justices Jurisdiction of Petit Larceny ? Trial Justico D. S. Craig holds that Ids court lins no jurisdiction to try casos of potit larceny, thus raising a now ques tion ns to tho constitutionality of tho special Act of 1887, limiting tho punish ment of potit larceny to a fino of $100 or imprisonment in tho county jail for not moro than thirty days, thus bringing it within tho jurisdiction of tho trinl jus tice court. Tho caso in which Justico Craig mado this ruling was that of Mary Muohaplease, colored, who was brought boforo him last Saturday by Sheriff Moss, on a warrant charging her with stoaling a dress, of tho valuo of ono dollar, from Miss Mary Maxwell. Tho Stato dovol opod a strong prima facie caso and she was committed to jail to await trial at tho Novombor term of Sessions Court. Justico Craig bottoms his opinion on tho alleged unconstitutionality of tho Act of 1887, which ho holds coniliots with Article V of tho Amendments to tho Constitution of tho United States, which proscribes that "No person shall bo hold to answer for a capital or other wise lt\famou8 crime, unless on a prcsont mont or indict mi nt by a grand jury."
