She created a deal of interest, it being a very unusual
eking to see a prisoner in the doek deemed as the prisoner
• as a ballet damper, and also so unusual to see a pri-
mmer so good-looking as the defendant is.
Kr. George Reiesenhausen, a tailor, living at 18, Garnish',
Meet, said he exhibited a bill for a servant, and on the
35th of May last the prisoner came to him, and he

The prisoner asserted again that she bad never seen the

Mr. Hedgkinsion (clerk)—What have you to say,prisoner ?
The prisoner—l am a respectable girl. I did not give
my right address, because I did not want my brothers and
mother to know the disgrace lam in. It is quite enough
for MIL It would break my mother's heart if she knew
where I was. (The prisoner again attempted to conceal
her emotion, but could not, and the tears trickled fast
down her dieeks.l
Mr. Payne—lt is really very sad to see m handsome and
interesting a girl as you placed in such a position Yon
bed better say where you lire, so that your Meads may
Mow. They may be able to do something for you.
The prisoner repeated that it was quite enough disgrace
for her to be in the dock.
The jury found her Guiity, but recommended her to
mercy on account of her youth.
The foreman said he hoped the press would notice this
case. •
The prisoner said she bad left home and did not want
them to know.
Mr. Payne said it was really a pity to see so interesting a
person as the prisoner in the dock. He should defer sen-
tence until next sess)on, and in the meantime the prisoner
would be seen by the chaplain of the prison, and be had no
doubt that the press would notice the case.
The prisoner is about 5 feet 3 inches in height, fair hair,
bine eyes, small mouth, features regular, and about
1? leers of age, and from her demeanour in the dock some-
what of a violent, self-willed disposition. She will be
brought up on the first day of next sessions, the 24th of
fiaptember.
