Florence Hastings was placed at the bar, charged
with stealing a double opera glass, value £l5. Mrs.
Annie Phillip., of 6, Pelham-street, lirompton, said
that the_prisoner took apartments at her house a few
days ago, and came in last Thursday. On Saturday
prosecutor missed the glass fi om a drawer in the room
occupied by the prisoner. She gave the prisoner into
custody, because she knew she must have taken the
glass, as no other person had access to it. Prisoner
owed her £3 borrowed money, besides considerably
more for a dress. The prisoner denied the charge,
and said the glass must have been taken by a person
who had called upon her. The magistrate remanded
the case for inquiry into the statement of the
prisoner.

Out of thirty-nine prisoners for trial 'at the Wilts
Assizes, at Devizes thirty are unable to read or write.
The time for payment of Albert premiums has
