SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TWO LADIES.—GIonerNe
ter, Saturday .—A trial of considerable interest came on
before the Gloucestershire Court of Quarter Sessions, and
occupied the attention of the court up to a late hour in the
evening. The accused were a Miss Littlepage and a Mn.
Smith, both highly respectable ladies, and well known in
the counties of Gloucester and Worcester as having been
engaged in the education of members of highly respectable
families. The charge against them was that they had stolen
linen to the value of 601., and divers articles of plate, the
property of Captain Maxwell, et Kemerton-priory, near
Tewkesbury. Mr. Pipott conducted the prosecution, and
Mr. Skinner and Mr. Fallen defended the prisoners. The
evidence adduced on the trial was very voluminous, but the
facts briefly were as follows :—Mrs. Idaxwell, the lady of
Captain Maxwell, had the education of some private pupils
at Kemerton Priory, and the captain becoming embarrassed
In consequence of his connexion with a n.ining company,
cc tired trout Kemetton to London for a time, and he and
Mrs. Maxwell made en arrangement with Miss Little-
page and Mrs. Smith that they should take to the house
and the pupils for a year, and that Captain Maxwell should
pay the housekeeping expenses and receive the money
tram the pupils. Muss Litticpage was to take to the fur-
niture, and a bill of !Ile of it was drawn up, hut was after-
wards cancelled. When Captain Maxwell left Kerner-
, con, the plate and linen not in common use was locked up
in a large cheat, and they took away the key, but after-
! wards something being wanted out of the box, the key was
! sent to Kemerton. In October last year the landlord of
the house put in a distress for rent, and thereupon Mrs.
Mussel, came down, settled with them, and they left.
The prisoners left about this time, and then the plate and
data in question was missed. It appeared upon the evi-
dence, that Miss Little age had taken the things openly,
saying to some that she should keep them safe, and return
them when required; and to others, that she should keep
them as a lien for money owing to her. This was the de-
fence, and it was stated that the ladies had taken advice
upon the point. The jury agreed that there was no feloni-
ous intent, and found the prisoners not guilty, amidst the
acclamations of the court.
