THE OLD DODGE—RINGINGTHE CHANGES.—Margaret
Williams, a well dressed female, was brought before
Mr. Cumhe for final examination, charged with obtain-
kg money under false pretences by the following artful
dodge.

Henry Green, a grocer, of 112, Great Suffolk-street,
said that on Monday, the let inst., about six o'clock in
the evening, the prisoner came into hie shop and asked
for a quarter of a pound of sugar. He served her, and
banded him half a crown. He gave her 24. 4id. change.
She took up the money, and after shuffling it about for
a moment or so, said " You don't call this right. I gave
you half-a-crown, and you have only given me one
shilling instead of two." Witness said he had given her
the right change, but she persisted that he had not, and
was so abusive that he was glad to get rid of her by
giving her another shilling. fie, however, sent his boy
to watch her further proceedings, being satisfied that
she was a thief and swindler.

Mr. Gobb, the landlord of the Moonrakers public-
house, Suffolk-street, stated that about half-past six
o'clock on the same evening the prisoner came into his
shop and was served with half a pint of beer, which she
paid for with a penny. She then asked for 3s. in exchange
for half-a•crown and sixpence in copper. Witness accom-
modated her, and about ten minutes afterwards she was
served with some gin. She gave his wife half•a-crown
to take for it, and witness saw her receive 2s. 41d. in
change. Witness saw her change one of the shillings for
a sixpence, when she said to Mrs. Gabb, "You have
only given me change for a two shillings piece, whereas
I gave you half•a crown." Witness immediately stepped
forward and told her that she received her right change,
and that he had seen her substitute a sixpence for one of
the shillings. She then abused him and left the shop,
when he followed her and gave her into custody.

The prisoner at first denied the charges, but when
Mr. Combe told her he should commit hor for trial,
she said she had better plead guiityand receive sentence

at once.

Mr. Combo accordingly sentenced her to three
months' hard labour, under the New Criminal Justices
Act.
