" MORE YET."—Bridget Lee, an Irish woman, dwelling
in Brook-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Partridge
charged with stealing 11 lbs of lead, value 2s Gf.
Mr. George A. Day, foreman at Messrs. W. W. John-
son's lead works in Limehouse, said the prisoner had been
employed there for some time. On the previous evening,
when the people were leaving the factory, he suspected the
prisoner had been stealing lead, and asked her if she had
any about her. She produced a small piece, which she took
from her bosom. He said, more yet, and she took another
piece of lead f, om her pocket, and she said that was all she
had. He said more yet, Mrs Lee, and then she handed
him a third piece. He went on saying more yet, mote yet
—(a laugh)—and a fourth lump of metal was forthcoming.
More yet—(loud laughter)—and she took from under her
clothes piece the fifth. More yet—(roars of laughter)—and
a sixth piece of lead was forthcoming.
Mr. Partridge—Any more ?
Witness—l said more yet—(increased laughter)—and
,she said "That is all, Mr. Day." I searched her and found
some more lead upon her. It weighs in all 111 lbs, and is
worth 2s, 6d.

Mr. Partridge—Were there no females present ?
Witness—Only my wife.

Mr. PartridgeL I think you ought not to have searched
the prisoner. That should have been done by one of her
own sex.

The prisoner admitted her guilt. She took the lead, and
was very sorry indeed for having done so. She had a large
family to maintain. She begged for mercy, and promised
not to offend again.
Mr, Day was recalled, and in answer to the magistrate,
said the prisoner had been employed three years at the
lead works, and was a very industrious woman. He be-
lieved this was her first offence. It was not the wish of his
principal or himself that the prisoner should be severely
punished.

Mr. Partridge was glad to hear the witness say so. The
prisoner had committed a serious offence in robbing her
employers, but in consideration of the good character she
received, and believing this was her first offence he should
deal with her leniently, and fine her 20s. for the unlawful
possession of the lead.
