day, at Manchester, sentence was passed on the
woman, Frances Lindley, who was on Friday last charged
before Mr. Barcn Pigott with having in her possession two
£5 notes, which formed part of the contents of the mail bag
stolen some months ago, during its transit frcm Ipswich to
London, under most mysterious and inexplicable circum-
stances. The registered letter bag was placed in the Lon-
don sack, which was deposited in the mail van of the train
for London ; but when the sack was opened by the travel
letter sorter the Ipswich registered letter bag was
missed, and the two £5 notes were all that had since been
traced of the bag and its contents. A remittance of £1,28.!
-s 2d, of which £2OO was in bank notes, was in the bag.

The prisoner was identified as the person who had changed
the notes by two Manchester tradesmen, and, in spite of
her denial, was found guilty by the jury, A. former con-
viction for pocket picking was proved against her, and sen-
tence was deferred until Tuesday morning, when Mr Baron
Pigott sent her to prison for 18 mourns' hard labour.
