the service of Mr Thomas Charles, fishmonger, was charged
before Mr Partridge with robbing his employer.
Mr B. Hutchinson attended for the prosecutor.

Evidence was given showing that the prisoner was in
the employment of the prosecutor, who lives in Arabella-
row, Pimlico, about six weeks, and that in consequence of
suspicions of his dishonesty, on Sunday last, Mr Charles
made a communication to the police, upon which Sergeant
Hornblow was employed to detect the prisoner. On Sun-
day last (the previous day) two florins and a half-crown
were marked and given to two tradesmen. They in the
course of the afternoon called to purchase some fish, and
gave the three pieces of coin in exchange for them. In the
evening when the prisoner left he gave prosecutor 5s 2d.
He was told by the prosecutor that he had 2s 6d. He put
his hand in his pocket and took out of it a half- crown, which
he said was given to him by Goss, another shopman, and
observed that they had agreed to divide the half-crown.

Sergeant Hornblow proved having taken tho prisoner
into custody. The prisoner stated to him that the half
crown was given to him by Goss, which the latter denied.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
