A. LADY'S-MAID CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—A BAD
CASE.—Elizabeth Wellz,-;stine was charged with stealing
several articles, the property of her master, Mr. W. T.
Fraser, 9, Berkeley-street, .Berke►ey-square.
Mr. Graham, Carlton-chambers, prosecuted.
From the evidence of Mr, Frassr it appeared that the
prisoner was in his service as lady's-maid to his wife, and
that for some time past various articles had been missed.
As the prisoner, who was about to leave at the end of the
month, had sent away a box by the footman, he (Mr.
Fraser) asked her where she had sent to, and she said that
she had lent it to a friend who wanted a box. He then
consulted the police, and the officer employed (Butcher,
137 C) succeeded in tracing the box, which Was packed
with the following articles:—Three bottles of sherry, t.ne
of brandy, one of champagne, and one of hock, a bottle of
sauce, 12 towels, TM number of pocket handkerchiois (one
belonging tct a friend who had been staying with him), a
tablecloth, &c 3
•

But-ehet,l37 0, said on asking the prisoner where she
sent the box to, she at first said she had given it to a
poor German woman living at 22, Elizabeth-street, P.m-
lico, but oa his telling bar that he believed it had gone
somewhere else, she admitted that it was at 2, South
street, Grosreaor-square. He then took the prisoner
there in gab, and on getting to the house the servant
girl (the prisoner having shaken her head in a significant
utitnr,r) at once said there was no box there, but on going
upstairs he found the box on the landing, and the prisoner
owned it was the ono she had left there, at the same time
declaring that there was nothing in it but what belonged to
herself. He told her she must go with him to the station,
and she said " Very well.' At the station she gave hint
the key of the box, and he found the articles produced (tlv2se
mentioned by Nr. Fraser) in it. On being searched 16
dublicates were found in her possession. She said the arti•
t.:les in the b.:a. were given to her by the butler; but the
butler denied this.

Mr. Graham asked for a remand, Butcher stating that he
believed the duplicates, relating to all sorts of property, and
pledged in e iffarent names, wore connected with other
robberies.
The prisoner was remanded.
