CLERkENWELL.

Margaret Batchelar, aged forty, a well-dressed
woman, who was described in the police-sheet as a
gentlewoman (marri3d), of Brockham-green, near
Reigate, Surrey was placed at the bar before 11Ir.
Combe, charged by Mr. Ebenezer Thomas Jobbins,
watchmaker, and also carrying on the business of a
baker at 15, Charles-street, llatton.garden, with
having robbed him extensively.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner
was a woman of considerable property in her own
right, and was living with her husband on their
freehold estate at Brockbam -green. She was on the
most intimate terms with the prosecutor's family,
having formerly been at school with his sister. She
was in the constant habit of visiting his family during
the last ten years, was allowed access to every part
of the house, used to attend in the baker's shop, and
serve the customers, and deal with the money, and
in fact was treated as one of the family, and the
utmost confidence being reposed in her, no suspicion
was ever entertained that she would he guilty of
plundering them. At intervals, during the last ten
years property had been missed from the till,
&c., to the amount of several hundred pounds,
and on some occasions, in consequence of the
losses of the prosecutor, he vas unable to meet the
demands of the millers and maltster, and he fre-

quently suspected the servants, who he bad been on
the point of discharging from his service ; at length
suspicion fell upon the prisoner, but nothing Was
communicated to her until after the prosecutor COw,
stilted with Inspector Scott, and Walker,
an intelli-
gent officer of the G division, when it was deter-
mined to test the honesty of the prisoner, and
discover the thief, if possible, by putting some WI
in the till, which Mr. Jobbins put a private mark
upon, and also a particular amount, which be could
si,verr to. On Tuesday morning Walker was in;
structed to be near the premises, and the prisoner,
usual, got up in the morning, she having been theft'
on a visit, and went into the shop to serve the CUS•
tomers, and some time afterwards Mr. Jobbins pro-
ceeded to the till and examined the money, wbenn,lll!
missed part of that which he had marked. '"(3
prisoner finding that he (Mr. Jobbins) was leaving
the house on some business, she requested hula t
oblige her to go to her grocer's for a quantity of 45.
tea, and handed him Bs., consisting of two half-croll
and one shilling, which he examined and discovered
that the whole of it was marked, and he identifiegl"
as the money which he had previously deposited in the
till. He then called in Walker, who found $ 91%
pence on her person with the prosecutor's pri°,`
mark upon. She denied having stolen the mole."
and begged not to be given into custody. He, /wig,:
ever, did give her in cha-ge, and she was brought' `-
this court.

Walker confirmed the evidence of the prosecal?.l.`v'
and produced the marked money, which was idea
fled by the prosecutor,
By Air. COMBE—When the prisoner was take,ilG,
into custody she said she put an equivalent
the till.

Mr. Trotter, a gentleman related to the Parties,s'e
said the prisoner wBs connected with parties of t',
highest respectability. Her father held a situation
the greatest responsibility in the Court of Xing,:
Bench for many years, until he became superannust"
when he was pen‘ioned ; and her brother was On
nectcd with the Common Pleas.
; b
Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner whether she wished
to say anything to the charge ? Prisoner—l eanTio
say anything now, excepting that they are quite
wrong in suspecting me of stealing the money.
Mr. Coatnn asked the prosecutor whether he w'is'ed
the prisoner to be remanded to give time to
other property ? Prosecutor said he had no prosPect
of tracing other property.
Mr. COMBE—'There is quite sufficient to send iler
for trial.
Mr. Jobbins suggested that he did not wish the
prisoner to be sent for trial until she had an oPrc;
tunity of seeing her husband and consulting with )1e
solicitor.
en
Mr. COMBE then remanded her for a week, ,Thle
she was taken from the bar and locked up br I
gaoler until the arrival of the police van, in Wnic
she was conveyed to the House of Detention.
