Prlsemr—l tem so more about it than you do.
Elise am surreal to the Rev. Mr. Wiltshire,
sad my sister Ma is in the same employment. The
family had hem oft of town, and Marmot home on &Mu-
day hat, seer a made' atuenoe. The shawl produced is
=be, emd the breasista belong to my dater. Daring our ab-
sence the home was left la chirp of the primate's mother,
aed on our relent I mimed the shawl, which I had left safe
in &drawer ia ley bedroom. From another drawer I mimed
three sowersigne. The two bracelets belong to my Meter.
In mower to the Lord Mayor, the witness said that the
=had been let & the house by his (misoner's) mallow
to
purpose of cleaning the windows.
R. !smell, constable 42.5 A, said he seed the plow at
the Begsiggr wells Motion if he knew anything about the
whin he replied that he opened the drawer and took
it, asked what he had dons with it, he replied that
be hod got "touched of it," meaning that he had been
robbed MIA

guilty Oe the ch
Taylor—On a former occasion he wee charged with steal-
ing a cost, but the principal witness against hint wag kept
out of the way, and he was acquitted.
Mr. Wiltshire—My lord, the principle had no authority
front me to enter the house. I think it a very hard case that
my servant should bee her money. 31. is a large sum for
her to lose.

The Lord Mayor—lt is a very cruel robbery. Was the
mother acquainted with the character of her son ?
Mr. Wiltehtre—fihe denies all knowledge of his haviamg
bleu hi custody before.
Taylor—She wee aware of the fact.
My. "il t shino—f An on be sent for.

The Lord Mayor—lt is a painful thing for a mother to
appear against her ern. The °Slur says the mother knew
he was is outody before, and therefore be was a may ins.
prow paean to be to the house at all. It wu very wroag
of be to Ist him In. At all events she ought to have re-
mined In the same room with him. Why do you not advise
year savants to deposit their money in the savings beak I, •
Mr. Wiltshire—She was going to do so just as we left
toms.

The Lord Mayor—That was the Tory reason why she should
have dose so.

The prisoner wee then folly committed for trial.
Nary Arm West, a 'stylishly dressed woman of the town,
was charged with stealing a watch, of the value of 61., from
George Oate, mate of the steamboat Carbon, lying at Fresh
Wharf.

neighbonft public-house. They were shortly site:wards
joined by • iiman oompaaion of the widener. After a isor
minstrel oonvereation, the prisoner's companion suddenly
left without drinking any of the ale. The prosecutor imme-
diately Weird his watch, and accused the prisoner, whose
hand he had previously found in his trowaer's pocket, of
having stolen it and given it to her Mend. This she denied,
and the Immolator gave h.ir into custody, when she pro-
mised that if he would let her go she would get the watch
restored to him, se she knew tie girl who had got it.
T. Knight, constable 511, said that the prisoner, when
given into cestody, offered to take him to where her oompa-
nion lived, for the purpose of getting the watch returned.
She gave • false address.
The prisoner said that her companion's name was Eliza-
beth Smith, but that she did not know her correct address,
although she could point out the house.
The prosecutor, who said he was going to sail for New-
castle in a couple of hours, begged of the Lord Mayor to dis-
pose of the can summarily.
The Lord Mayor sentenced the prisoner to three months'
imprisonment with bard labour, and recommended the pro-
secutor to give the police an accurate description of his watch,
as this might possibly lead to its recovery. His lordship also
