CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY,

OLD COURT
STEA.LINd A 10/. NOTlL—Eliza Coldred. described as a
spinster, aged 20, was indicted with stealing a 101. bank
note, the property of Miss Charlotte Dense, of Ealing.
It appeared that the prosecutrix, on the 15th of June last,
went into a draper's shop at Ealing, kept by a Mr. Fountain,
for the purpose of paying an account. She took a 10/. note,
and happened to leave it for a few momenta on the counter.
The prisoner was a customer in the shop at the time, and
having made some excuse left rather hurriedly, and shortly
afterwards the 10/. note was missed. The prisoner was a
servant in the employ of Dr. Wilkins, of Ealing.
On the day following the 15th, the prisoner,
in company with two ether females, went to
the shop of Messrs. Williams and Halton, linen-drapers, Ox-
ford-street, and purchased a shawl and some other articles,
for which the note produced was given in payment. It was
proved that the note was one of a number of notes which
was in possession of the prosecutrix, and that it had been
paid by Messrs. Williams and Co. into their bankers, but
there was no proof that it was the identical note which was
given in payment of the articles purchased.
The RICORDER thought, therefore, that as it had not been
shown that the prisoner ever had the identical note in her
possession, no case could be established against her.
The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.
