how long the doctor would be, and being told Lelf
he said he would wait.

upon leaving the house, so I went up stairs to look for a

said—l should have paid for
the trousers if they had given me time.
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said that 10 pewter
pots were found upon the prisoner. The bottoms of eight
of those pots had been cut out and rolled up, and the pots
flattened, Two of the pots were not mutilated. The pri-
soner appeared to have commenced operations at the Bird
in Hand public-house in Bow, and finished at the Blue
Anchor, Mile-end, about fifty yards from the shop of Mr.
Hallington, where he stole the trousers.
The prisoner said he was in want, and had applied for
relief to the parish officers, who refused to do anything for
him. Ho had a starving wife and family at home.
Mr. Woolrych—l don't believe you. I am sure the
parish officers would not refuse to relieve a man sixty years
of age if he was in poverty. You are sentenced to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour,
