tieing present. In a few days aterwards the sheet and,
a pillow case front the bed were missing, and traced to

Mr. Platt, 'mires curie, suggested for the ennsideratiore

have been made with the husband alone. if the indict-
mmt had charged that the lodgings were let to the hi*.
hand for the use of the prisoner and himtelf, it might
hate been sufficient ; but, as at present franked, it was-
defective.

fatal. and directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner.—.•
