*ANDSWORTH.

Mary Piotly was brought up on remand charged with ob-
taining 11. la. from Eliza Stevens, a young German woman,
employed as kitchen-maid at 21, Cedar-road, Clapham-
common, by fraud.
The case was Mat beard before Mr. Dayman in the
early part of last week, when the complainant stated that
the prisoner ailed at the house and induced her to have
her fortune told. She asked her whether she bad any-
thing in gold, as her fortune must be told from gold. She
said she had not anything in gold, but handed her 11. Is
after she had given her name and address, which she re-
presented to be Mrs. Arnold, of Manor-street, Clapham.
The, prisoner then told her that she would go out on Good
Friday and meet her young man, and when she mat him
there would be a present for her, a gold watch. She also
said that she would be married very rich.
Mr. Dayman inquired of the complainant whether she
had a young man, and whether he was rich.
She told him that she bad a young man but she did
not know whether be was very rich. She further stated
teat the primmer told her that she would niters to Ger-
many. The prisoner went away, but returned of the same
day, and raised V. Is. more on some clothes. She was,
however, given into custody through the butler, who had
been watching her proceedings. It further appeared that
the prisoner bad promised to return the money in eight
days, and when she was hired with the fraud she gave up
10a. 6d. of it.
The magistrate said it was a ease of fortune•tellrog, to
be dealt with under the Vagrant Act, and remanded the
prisoner for inquiries.
Inspector Egerton now informed Mr. Ingham, before
whom the prisoner was placed, that ohs was not known to
have been guilty of fortune-telling previously.
Mr. Ingham (to complainant)—Now Good Friday is
over, have you found your present ? (Laughter.)
Oomplainant—No, sir.
The prisoner, who had expressed a wish to return the
remainder of the money, was allowed time to do so. On
again being brought into court, it was stated that the
money bad been returned.
Mr. Ingham said that as nothing was known of her
before in that line he should discharge her, but if she
was ever brought before him again for that kind of cheat-
ing he should send her for three months.
The prisoner—You won't have the chance.
