have done. If the intent to defraud arose subsequently, the
Judges had held it not to be a criminal offence.
She was ultimately again remanded.

brought up in custody of Limbrick, an officer, chseged, on the
information of Johanna Erle, with robbing her of furniture end
other property to a considerable =mint, and under no very gracious
circumstances.
It appeared that the prisoner, who it by no means an Adonis,
has lived with several young women on the most intimate urns,
the last of whom, the prosecunix, had devoted her time, taints,
and treasured honour to his use and pleasure, in return for which
he took advantage of her absence from town on Saturday last
to remove all the furriture and Ether property from her apart-
ments in Euston-street, Burton-crescent, a part of which he sold nit
for 151. and the residue he packed up in cats, and booked them
at the Swan Inn coact-office for Bath, whither he went pit on tte
following Monday, to play, perhaps, the same game with another
unfortunate who had yielded up her virgin heart to the attacks of
this accomplished Lotherio. Bullets was apprehended in Bath by
Limbrick, who was sent from this Office,and brought up in custody
on Monday laid.
The pris Ater, in his defence, contended, that the property was
all his own, because he had been in the habit of giving her (the
proses-Istria) the prodigious s.itn of 20s. per week, to provide fcr
their entire establishment ; and therefore he conceived he was eh-
tided to sell the furniture to whom he pleased.
The IllEgistrate, however, did not join in the calculation t-ae.
by the prisoner, that the ;Gime woman could save eno mph out gr.
his pound per week for six months to buy at least sixty pounds of
goods.
The depositions were then taken down, and the prisoner was
committed fur
