MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YESTERDAY.
Bayou Ma. Baltiturr ADLIO, Assur,urr Juno&

George Harelooetle, 17, a respectable good-looking youth,
was indicted for having feloniously entered the dwelling-
house of George Stevens, with intent to steal a cash box
containing 651. in money, fie.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Assistant Judge sentenced him to 18 months' hard
labour.
Charlotte Spain, 22, was indicted for having stolen& Bank
of England note for the payment of 1001., the ,property of
Alexander Young.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner.
When the prisoner was arraigned, she pleaded Guilty,
but it was explained on her behalf that she ,merely meant
by that plea that she was guilty of receiving the note from
tho prosecutor, and not that she had stolen it. Where-
upon the plea was withdrawn, and she pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. Clarkson then said perhaps the court would peruse
the evidence in the depositions, as there was no case made
out upon the face of them, and as the prosecutor was a
very respectable man, the only result would be a painful
investigation if the case was gone into. The court would
perceive that the prosecutor voluntarily gave the note to
the prisoner, and that there was no felonious taking on
her part.
The Assistant Judge then went over the depositions, and
said the case certainly was one of a little difficulty. It ap-
pearedthat the prosecutor gave the prisoner the note to pay
e some railway tickets to Liverpool, and she returned to
him and said the superintendent at the station would not
change it. 'Upon which she said she would run back for
it, sad she went away and did not return. It seemed that
she got the note changed, and afterwards said she was
robbed of the money.
It was submitted by Mr. Clarkson, and also by Mr. Payne,
as &micas curia, that the prosecutor had given the prisoner
oompl.te authority to change the note, or, in other words,
to convert the property for him, and he did not expect to
receive back that which he had given her. She converted
it as the prosecutor had directed, Tic, by getting it changed,
sad her subsequent conduct amounted only to a breach,
of trust.
Two eases were cited in which it had been held that con-
duct of this description did not amount to felony.
The Assistant Judge, after again reading the depositions,
and referring to the came cited, said in his opinion there
was no case of felony, and then directed an acquittal.
The prisoner was accordingly found Not Gouty.
