he thought there was a considerable doubt, whether
the prisoner took all the money at one time; and
if she had taken it a guinea one day and a guinea

stealing above the value of forty shillings, which
was a capital offence.
The Jury. after a shaft consideration, found the
prisoner guilty of the minor offence.
