stealing the sum of £1,200 and the latter with re-
ceiving a portion of that stn, well knowing it to
be stolen.

Mr. Hope attended for the female prisoner, and

The evidence taken on fie former occasion hav-
ing been read over,
Geo. Clark, an officer tttached to the detective
department, Scotland-yard said—ln consequence of
directions I received, and tom what I heard on the
morning of the 22d, I tracd the female to a coffee-
shop in the East-road, Cit'-road. I found her there
in bed with a man. I said, "I am rather an unex
pected visitor. I belong the police, and believe
you have been living wit' Thos. Beavan in Theo-
bald's-road." She said, ‘.l. have." I said," What,
money has he lately given rou ?" She said, "None."
I said, " Are you sure of ttat ; I think you are mis-
taken." She said, " Well,he gave me £5." I said,
"Did he give you no moo ?" She then asked me
to remove the waiter, whc was in the room, and I
did so. She then said, "I will tell you the truth;
he gave me £3OO. I hay( spent part of it on my
child, and paying some (ebts, as well as buying
some clothes." She was atcut saying the rest is at
home, when I said, " I know, I have got it." At
that time I saw a key on tle, table, and she said it
was the key of her box. I coked her where Beavan
was, and she said, "It is ha"d that I should tell ;"
and she did not. I then left ter in charge, and went
to her father's, and there found a box which the
key unlocked. I there fount these two letters ad-
, dressed to Mrs. Testor:—

"Tuesday Evening.
"My Own Dearest Louisa, —Tar note received. Away
from her I love I find existence irmpportable. Pray, there-
fore, put forth every effort and ecne down here as soon as
possible. I have much to say, lan will not attempt do do so
on paper. Deprived of your socity life is a burden to me.
By all our hopes of happiness her, and salvation hereafter,
I supplicate and implore you to accede to my request.
