George Stratford was indicted for stealing 20 ostrich and

and the prisoner had been in his service about 18 months
as traveller. In October a quantity of feathers was missed,
and information was given to the police. From some in
formation received, a City police-constable went to a Mrs.
Burton, in Sidney-street, Goswell-road, and in the first-
floor front room a quantity of feathers was found,
which he took possession of, and which the prosecutor
identified as his property, although they had
been dyed. On the prisoner being charged with the rob
bery he denied it, and said the feathers found by the officer
had been purchased by him of a Mr. Laybonne, of Charter
House-lane. He produced an invoice for them, and said
George Bourbon, with whom he was in partnership, had
given him the money, and since he
_had purchased the
feathers he had had them dye& The feathers not corres-
ponding with those named in the invoice the prisoner was
given into custody.
