Sam Jackson against Elder Pierce

The defendant stole two suits of clothes and an overcoat - to the value of $95 - from the deponent's apartment. The deponent subsequently "found in the possession of this defendant pawntickets calling for said ... property which deponent identified at the pawnshop."

The case was transferred to the Court of Special Sessions, as the stolen property was re-valued and found to be worth under $100 (the deponent had initially stated a value of $150), and thus the defendant could no longer be charged with Grand Larceny.
