WHOLESALE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Sarah Costell,
servant to Mr. Henry Watts, linen draper, of 408, Oxford-
street, was charged with stealing a quantity of hosiery,
&c., the property of her employer.
Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that about seven that morn-
ing he saw the prisoner leave her employer's house, 408,
Oxford-street, by a side door in a passage, having with her
a large parcel. He followed her to No. 93, Dean-street, a
chandler's shop, kept by a Mr. Jacobs, where she went
in and gave Mr. Jacob's the parcel, which he placed
on a shelf behind the counter. The prisoner
then left, and on his going into the shop and asking
Mr. Jacobs what the prisoner had brought, ho said
a parcel, and that the prisoner asked him to mind it till the
evening for her. Mr. Jacobs gave him the parcel, and on
going with him to No. 408, Oxford-street, and seeing the
prisoner in the presence of Mr. Watts she denied having
taken a parcel anywhere, declaring that she had not been
out that morning at all. On Mr. Watts seeing the articles
in the parcel and identifying them as hie property, the
prisoner began crying, and asked Mr. Watts to forgive
her. He (Dawson) then asked the prisoner for the keys.
At first she said sho had not got any, but afterwards told
him where there was one, which was found to open a door
in the passage leading to the shop. On searching the
prisoner he found 21 duplicates in her possession relating
to similar articles to those sold by Mr. Watts, and in her
bedroom he found a quantity of other articles identified by
Mr. Watts.

Mr. Watts said the prisoner entered his service in May,
ho having a good character with her. The whole of the
property produced was his property, and of the value of
£6. Ho had missed a large quantity of property. In some
instances the robbery showed great deliberation, as pieces
had been cut from rolls, and he had no doubt in the middle
of the night.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner to give the police
time to trace other property.
