elderly man, said he was a mariner, but for the last eight or
nine years he bad been working at the Australian diggings,
and having realised a considerable sum of money, be made
up his mind to return to the mother country. He ac-
cordingly took his purge in the Prince of Wales, which
arrived in the docks on the previous day. In the
course of the afternoon he came with a ship.
mate into Tooley-etreet, and went into the Colonel
Wardle public-house, where they had some porter,
and he got into conversation with the prisoner. He bad
then in his right-hand trousers pocket a bank bill, drawn by
the Bank of Melbourne on London for 41:11., and 19 sove-
reigns tied up in a bag, and in the left-hand pocket some
loose silver and coppers. He left the public-house, and ac-
companied the prisoner to Whams in Unicorn-square, close
by, and then he asked for a glass of water. The prisoner
sat by him, and passed a handkerchief across his face ; and
a minute or two afterwards he found that she had left him,
and he immediately put his hand in his pocket, and missed
the bank bill and the 19 sovereigns. He immediately tan

just run out had robbed h'rn. ammi

prisoner and another girl quarrelling. The latter told the
former that she had robbed the old sailor of a bank note
and money, and that he had been on the look out for her.
About four o'clock in the morning the prosecutor Lame to
