Mary Ann Jackaon, young woman,
described as being housemaid in the service of Julia Wil-

was brought up on remand on the charge of stealing two
diamond tines of considerable value and other articles, the

Mr. Heald, the husband of the celebrated Lola Monies,
while out yachting) on bring sworn gave the name of Jeli A
Heald, but said she was not married. The prisoner had
been in her service about a fortnight, and about four days
before she was charged prosecutrtz missed a gold dismote:
ring, which could not be found anywhere. On Monday
morning last she missed some lace, and en going into the
prisoner's room she discovered another geld diamond ring
belonging to her wrapped lop in a pair of the prisoner's
stockings. She also found a silver toothpick, the piece of
lace, some cambric handkerchiefs, and other articles, the
whole of which she identified as her property, concealed
amongst the prisoner's things. She afterwards searched
the prisoner, and found in her pocket a silver knife belong-
ing to her. The prosecutrix further stated that she called
in a constable and gave the prisoner into custody, and also
handed the stolen property to the officer.
Mr. Paynter, who heard the rase, then remanded the
prisoner for a week, for the purpose of giving the officer an
opportunity of finding the missing ring.
Yesterday, the court having waited some considerable
time for the attendance of the prosecutrix, who did not
aPPeare
Mr. Beadon inquired of the constable who had the
charge if there was any chance of the complainant coming
forward ?

Police-constable Frewen said he waited upon the prose-
entrix that morning between ten and eleven o'clock, and
a message was brought to him by one of the servants that
her mistress would be at the court at the proper time and
prosecute.
Mr. Deaden said if that was the cast he would wait a
short time lunger before he decided upon the cue.
The constable also said he had net been able to find the
missing ring, or any trace of it.
In answer to questions the officer said he found none of
the :property nun the prisoner. All the articles were
given to him by Mrs. Heald.
Mr. Beadon received the following note, which was writ-
ten upon a sheet of pink note paper : " This Is to certify,
that I am in attendance on Mrs. Heald, who is ill, and con-
sequently not able to leave her honse.—F. Faucets, surgeon,
Joao 27."

Mr. liee.don inquired of the messenger who gars him
that note.

Mr. Beadon—llid you see Mrs. Heald this morning ?
The servant—l saw her about 10 o'clock.
Mr. Beadon—Wu she ill then ?
The servant—l am not aware that she was.
Mr. Beadon—Do you know if she is ill this afternoon ?
The servant—l do net, sir.
Mr. Beadon said it was singular that she was taken ill so
very suddenly. She gave directions that she intended to
' to appear on that day, and, after waiting some time for her
attendance, a medical certificate is brought. stating that she
is ill, when she appeared perfectly well in the morning. He
saw clearly what he had to do with the cue.
Mr. Martin, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner,
hoped his worship would not detain the prisoner.

from Mr. Martin, as he fully intended to discharge the
prisoner.

possession of the constable was ordered to be delivered up
to the prosecutrix.
