WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.

Marian Lindsay was charged with robbing her
master, Mr. Slater, silk mercer and draper, No. 11,
North-place, Kingsland-road.
Mr. Slater stated that he discovered he was being
robbed for some weeks past, in consequence of lengths
of silks and other articles having been left cut in a
fashion contrary to that of the trade. No suspicion,
however, was attached to the prisoner, and who was
a domestic servant, until yesterday morning, after
she had gone to church, when, on passing a back
parlour in which she slept, he observed a band-box,
with the lid open, belonging to her, and in it were
several short lengths of ribbon. Witness lost no time
in proceeding to the Robert-street station and pro-
curing assistance. On the arrival of the girl home
she at first denied all knowledge of or participation in
the robbery. On being given into custody, however
she handed over the keys of her boxes to the officer,
who, on opening them, found them crammed with
mercery goods.
Zinzay, the officer, corroborated the latter part of
the prosecutor's statement, and added that, among
other things belonging to the prisoner, he had found
several letters from persons in the country, the writers
of which complained of not receiving certain goods as
they had been advised.
The prosecutor said the prisoner had been in his
sevice only six weeks. She was from the country,
and he had received with her a written character. A
female, whom she stated to be her mother, had been
in the frequent habit of visiting her with a band-box.
The prisoner, who does not appear to be more
than twenty years of age, said that the whole of the
articles produced were her own. They were purchased
by her at the prosocutor's shop before she entered his
service, out of money which had been left her by a
deceased relative.
Mr. HAMMILL said he should remand the prisoner
for a week, in order to give time for further in.
