CLEMEXTS GOING TO rA y Ins LICENSE.

A tidy looking girl, named Catherine Tatlock, was
charged by James Clements, beerhousc-keeper, Athol-
street, with stealing £3 from him. The comp?ainant, a
respectable looking person,—said I was going to pay my
license, and on passing through Arley-street I saw the
prisoner. I went into the house with her and had a
"beer," and soon after that I missed my purse. Mr.
Raffles : Who took it ?- Witness: The prisoner. how
do you know ? Why because the Mistress called for
her petticoat—(laughter.) In answer to further ques-
tions, he said, he had the parse when he went into the

house, and uo one could. have taken it except the
prisoner, and she must have conveyed it out in the petti-
coat. (Laughter). He then went home, got more
money, and paid his license. He went back to the house
in the evening, gave the prisoner a quart of the best
ale, and offered her 10s. if she gave him back the £3,

hut she refused, and then he gave her in charge. Mr.
Raffles : Did you know this woman before ? 'Here the
wife of the complainant stepped forward, and looking at
the prisoner with a smile that may well be imagined,
cried out, " Yes, she comes to our house for ale, and
that's the Way he knows her." The prisoner was remanded.

window. She was fined £5 or a month's imprisonment.
