Anna
other wearing apparel, the property of a lady named
Bainbridge, residing at Lambeth.
The elder prisoner had been nurse to Mrs. Bainbridge for a
upon.
twelvemonth. Last week the younger prisoner called
her mother, and on going away a policeman seeing her
e car,
by
rying a bundle asked her what it was, and how she cam

the various articles which it contained. She said they„hh:
been given to her by her mother at Mrs. Bainbridge'S•
went back with him, when Miss Bainbridge said she had given!,
all the articles in the bundle except two. Thep
wouldolice
then said, as that was nearly all right, they „
have no objection to show him what was at home, a'
they acknowledged that there were many more things
there. They at once agreed, and gave up the key..
of two boxes, in which he found a vast quantity of raisce
laneous articles of wearing apparel. The prisoners then
alleged that the things were given to the elder one byre,Mr!:
and Miss Bainbridge at different times. Mrs. Bainbrid ',"
appeared, was liable to attacks of lunacy, under one of whica
she now laboured. In cross-examination, Miss Bainbridge
acknowledged .to have given the 17 shirts, and almost aIL
the
other articles. She spoke to a handkerchief particularly, ale
the policeman stated, the prisoners both said, when the bun
was looked at, and the handkerchief found, they did not know
how it came there.
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the prisoners i 9
very forcible and feeling manner. He was sure of the vedict.
of the Jury, but he was most anxious to save the character
_oet
the two prisoners, who ought never to have been put atd
the
bar. After commenting upon the evidence, he calle
landlord of the prisoners who had known them for two years;
they were most highly recommended to him, and he was Per"
fectly satisfied with their conduct since they lived near hill.
The husband and father was a highly respectable man, who
had an allowance of 501. out of a litigated estate in Chancery.
He respected the whole family, and they were generally re-
spected in the neighbourhood. He had seen Dr. Dodd,
was unable to attend to-day, and he thought so highly 0'
them, that he would still continue to recommend them to kia
friends.
Mr. CLARKSON said he bad a long list of names of resPecbtfl
able people who were present, but he would not take up
time of the Court and jury further.
The COMMON SERGEANT summed up
in favour el the evidence,
jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty and the,
both prisoners.
One of the jury said he was very sorry to see the prisonersd
at the bar. He respected them so much, that if he had 11"
of any of them, it would give hint pleasure to emploY thcn3.
