SOUTHWARK.

Elizabeth Horton was brought up charged with
stealing a sovereign, the property of John Webb, the
keeper of a coffee shop in Tooley-street, Southwark.
The prosecutor said that on the previous night the
captain of a vessel was sitting in the coffee-room and
partook of refreshments to the amount of three
shillings. While he was there the prisoner came in
and sat on the opposite bench. When the captain
went away he threw down a sovereign, and witness
handed him the change, which he put in his pocket
and left the house; but before witness could take up
the sovereign, the prisoner snatched it up, and ran
out of the house. lie pursued her into the borough,
where he came up to her and gave her into custody.
On being searched at the station-house, a sovereign
and two shillings were found in her glove. The two
shillings was change he previously gave her out of
half- a-crown.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner denied snatch-
ing up the sovereign. The one she had in her pos
sesion belonged to her, which she could prove. On
the same evening at an early hour she met a gentle-
man who knew her, and he gave her the sovereign,
and ten shillings to send to her child, which was then
at nurse.

Mr. SECIER asked if that party was in attendance
to support her statement. Prisoner replied in the
negative. Ile would not like to come forward upon
any account.
A female servant in the complainant's employ, said
she saw the captain throw down the sovereign on the
table, and while her master's back was turned, the
prisoner ran out, and the sovereign was gone. Her
master, she was certain, did not take it up.
Prisoner—l can assure you that it is my sovereign,
and that the coffeehouse-keeper put the captain's
sovereign in his pocket.
_ _

Mr. SEC ER said that he must believe the state-
ment of the witnesses, and, under all the circum-
stances, he should, fine her 6s. for the unlawful pos-
session of the sovereign.
Upwards of a hundred tradesmen attended before
the Magistrate, and were sworn in as special con-
stables.
