fore Mr. Alderman Caudal, Davies charged with steal-

same, well-knowing it to have been stolen.

the evening of Saturday, the 19th inst., he and William
Wee., 112 0, were together i• Buskin-row, when they
raw Smith carrying • large parcel. Boulb asked her
what she had got •
there, and she replied, a carpet.
He arked her how she became possawd of it,
and she said that • woman had given her a
shilling for carrying it. He was not satisfied, and took
her to the station-se, where he charged her with
being in the unlawful poessaion of the parcel. On
examining it be found it ooatained two rolls of calico, in
each of which there wu about 60 yards. On the fol-
lowing Monday he took hor to the Worship.

called upon them, and than they missed four otherpiecee
as well as those produced. The officers had traced the
property, but the pawnbroker refused to come to the
court.

him up.
The prisoners having been cautioned, Smith said she was
in a state of starvation at the time when Mrs. Davies
asked her if she could do anything with some calico, and
through her being so destitute she was induced to do it.
She pawned it at different pawnbrokers. Davies said sho

made a further search, and mimed besides his watch and

the 12th, while prisoner was in his (witness's) bedroom
with him, he accused him of having stolen his watch and

The prisoner jumped up from a chair whereon he had
been matting, and shrieked out, " Have mercy ! Save me,
murder, police!" Witness seized him as he was
making for the door, and threw him back on the bed.
Witness's housekeeper coining in at the moment, begged
that he would let prisoner go, and he did so.
Afterwards the prisoner had some imppm, with
whisky and water, and soon after left the house.
From that time until Saturday last he never saw
