come by the spoon, when the Prisoner, Mary Veal,
confessed that she had got it from James Veal, ser-
vant to the Prosecutor, to be pledged on his account.
The other Prisoner seemed no fanner implicated in
the trausadion than in having accompanied Mary
Veal to the pawn-broker's. ~
Mr. Ctir wood, appeared not. as a professional man,

Mr. C. had been obliged to leat'e town; on urgent
business, for some days, leaving a man servant and
two female servants it, his house.. • In consequence
of the apprehenSion of the Prisoners, it was d:s-

of articles of plate had disappeared hien] the howe,
four or five duplicates of which the Pi isOner Veal;
bad given up. Mr.. Curwood had no diubt that the
spoon was the pro, tarty of the Pro.veutor, boi, he.,
did not think himself enticted.!o swear to if, and he
only begged of the Magistrate to recominit the Pri
soners ter a day or two, till the Prost.cutor's arrival
in town.. He submitted that the sindple fad of
Mary Veal's receiving from James Veal, at the house
of his master, a spoon which she innsi have. known
to be his master's property, and offering it in pledge,
Was a receiving in the eye of the law.
The worthy Alderman ordered the Prisoner

'examination.

The depositions of the several persons who had laid
charges against the prisoner, tbr putting otf the South-
ampton notes, were read, and the parties bound over
to prosecute; but. with respeit to the imputation of
forgery laid against the prisoner, the Magistrates eon-
ceived- that there was not sufficient evidence io
ground such a charge before a Jury, and were pleas-
ed to forego that accusation, but ordered him to find
good bail fur his appearance at the next Middlesex

meanours.
