George Pope, about 18 yeus of age, was charged with
stooling the sum of 1081. 10s., the moneys of Mr. Robertson,
• eurkeeper, carrying on bodiless at No. 9, Lower-street,
Isliogton ; sad James Hudson was charged with receiving
the same, well knowing it to have been stolen.
It summed from the snidest., that the priaeoer Pope was
foneerly la the employ of the prosecutor, but left hie service
about sin months sp. 81,.ea that period he had often
visited the complainant's hoes*, sod taken out the child for
a walk. On Saturday, the prosenor went to his drawers
for the purpose of poke ease money, when he found that
the bulk had very considerably decreased, end upon count-
log it, hie ascertained that 1081. 10e had bun taken away.
He then galled I. his wife, and said, George has paid
himself very well for taking out the child, for he has stolen
nearly the whole of the money." The reason he bad for
suspecting the prisoner was that, although when he left his
service he had no money, he had lately been honedealisg,
and at one time he knew him to have been posseised of
no less the. Ave homes. Teeterday morning he
wont end fetched the prisoner to hie residence,
sad when he amused him of the robbery, the
prisoner said, I have set taken your money; tin
mossy that I have spent was left me, as you well know, by
my aunt." Hi then pee the prisoner into the ens ody of
pollee-mutable 163 N, end whoa on their way to the station-
house Pope said, I took the money. I opened the drawer
with the key that we. ea the top. The last mosey I took
was 201., end that was about three weeks ago. Hodson has
had the greater put of the money, and has swindled me a
good deal." When Hudson was taken into custody he did
sot say anything is answer to the charge. All the money
that was found ripen Pope was Is. Od.
Pope, when asked if he had anything to say in hie defence,
replied In the empties.
Hr. Yardley said thus wee no evidence whatever against
the prisoner Hudson. and he would therefore be discharged.
With regard to Popo be should remand him for further
iscreiry to Do mode about him.
