his tor stealing several valuable books, the the
his master; Mr. Hawdon, a cab proprietor. Among rks
property were several elegantly bound editions of the wo
of Byron and Swift, and Colburn's edition of the British
Poets. a
The prosecutor employed the prisoner as the driver ,
night of one of his cabs, and having access to his master s
house, be took advantage of that and committed the rob
bery in question.
The prisoner said in his defence that his master 111100 d
him no wages, and required him to bring home
i
he earned. When he took the property w
ob-
he was greatly n
want of money, and intended the moment he could
place it. He pledged the property for the purpose of
taming money.
The prosecutor, on being re-called by the Chairman:
gr
stated that he boarded the prisoner, and that hall
is af
ment with him was, that he should pay himself out of his
nights' work. When that agreement was made, the Pre.'"
cutor told the prisoner that he did not require hi weo brir
in a certain sum each night, but he was to do as l fier
could for him, and then he might do as well as he calla ,e‘
himself', so that he did not distress his (the prosecutor)
horse.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

author wanting to get away agreed to postpone it t were

might laugh at him, and say, " I amgoing to take
the office," and if he did not do so, the miter(l,so
