LAMBETH-STHEET.

AOTHER ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Yeßterdayit yotmg wo- I
man named lionnah Plumb, a servant in the employ of Mr. Tickle,
ale-brewer, in Castle-street, Whitechapel, was placed at the bar,
charged with stealing a gold watch, chain and seals, jewellery, and
a variety of trinkets, the property of her master.
By the evidence it appeared that on Monday, the 20th instant,
the above property being missing, Foster, an officer, was sent for,
who, on inspecting the house, was about to examine the servants,
when he was interrupted by Mrs. T. rho said she thought it
unnecessary, as she had no suspicion of their integrity. The
officer in consequence at the time desisted, but the impression on
his mind still continuing that the robbery must have been effected
by some of the inmates, he returned on Friday and examined the
trunks of the domestics. On his proposing this the prisoner ap-
peared a good deal shocked, and earnestly endeavoured to avoid
the scrutiny. Foster was, however, positive, and she was sent for
I to an upper apartment to come down and deliver up her keys ; to
this at length she consented, but on her way told a 'female who was
sent for her that she forgot her handkerchief, and wished to go
back for it ; to this she replied that she would do so herself, and
did io, but on her return the prisoner had removed into her mis-
tress's room, after leaving which, the female before alluded to
observing the bedclothes somewhat discomposed, examined them,
and found the stolen property, together with the keys of the pri-
soner, which in her hurry and contusion she had left behind her.
Foster, on being informed of this, took her into custody, and on
examining her trunks found a number of duplicates for shirts,

The prisoner was remanded for further examination, to afford
time for the attendance of the pawnbrokers.
