prosecutor, who is a parasol maker, Ia Holbont-
bare, and on the 23rd of Joinery she wee en-
trusted with the parasols to hake to • hones
in the City, but scoordlng to her own statement
she went there too late, and eke took them home,
and the other prisoner perenaded her to steal the articles.
The only evidence against the wiener Dame was that she
had sold one of the parasols at the Jolly Weavers
public-
hnuse, Clerkenwell, and also palmed the others at the shop
of a pawnbroker in Clarkesweil.
