Mrs Annie Turner, of the Old Star and Crown, Broad-

drummer came into the house. The first named had been

little while until he recovered, and she consented, and

care of him. After he had been there a few minutes the
prisoner put his hand into prosecutor's pocket and emptied
it, and was than going out. Witness, who had seen pri-
soner rob the prosecutor, called her son and told him what
had occurred, and prisoner was brought back. Ho said he
had gone out to get a pot.

brought him back after he had gone a few yards from the
house. He had hie hand clenched with prosecutor's purse
