From the evidence of Jane Burnham, a young woman,
it appeared that she left her situation on Saturday last, and
occupied the same room with the prisoner, at 7, George-
street, Grosvenor-square. The prisoner got up some time
before the prosecutrix and took the whole of her wages she
had just received—£Z 18s.—and absconded. The proseca
hilt then went to the prisoner's father, when she learnt that
a warrant was then out against the prisoner for robbing her
father of £4 10s. Information was given to the police, and
Kent, 191 C, succeeded in discovering and apprehending
the prisoner, who had spent all the money but ss. 3fd.,
having purchased herself a new hat and feather, crinoline,
stylish boots, &c.
Prisoner, in a flippant tone, said in answer to the charge,
" Oh, yes ; I did it on purpose to get locked up."
Mr. Knox said he should remand the prisoner for the
attendance of her father, and gave the prosecutrix—to
whom the loss was no doubt very great—a sovereign from
the poor-box.
