MARYLEBON.E.
Caroline Haseldine, a well-dressed and pretty looking
young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long,
charged with having robbed Mrs. Mary Sumption, a
widow lady residing at 10, Stanhope-street, Hampstead-
road, of property to the amount of more than 1001.
• Prosecutrix, on being sworn, said—The prisoner has
been in my service three years. On Friday last I re-
ceived from my tenants a large sum, which I put into
my wardrobe, where other money had from time to time
been deposited by me. In the whole there was more
than 100/., consisting of three 10/. notes, four 51. ditto,
together with a quantity of gold and some'silver. The
whole was placed in three bags, and I locked the door of
my wardrobe, which was in my bedroom. On Saturday
night the prisoner, as was her usual custom, took a bird
into the parlour, and presently came down to me in the
kitchen, exclaiming, " Oh! my God! mistress, we have
been robbed, for the parlour window is open and the
drawers also;" upon hearing which I said, " Oh! then I
am a ruined woman." I went into the parlour with
her, when she remarked, " but they haven't undone
the secretsire, for there's a key in it that don't
fit;" which I found to be the case. The key is
mine. I saw a silver watch, which was my late hus-
band's, lying on the window board, and prisoner said,
" Oh, that will, I dare say, detect them.' This watch
was safe in my bedroom the same morning. Prisoner
then went up stairs, and as I was about to follow her she
came running down in great haste, saying, " Oh, ma'am,
the drawers are all open, and the wardrobe too." I en-
tered the room and found that all my money was gone,
and also the larger bag of the three. The other two I
found empty upon the floor. I said, " Oh, dear I who
can have done this ?" and the prisoner made no answer.
She, however, seemed much agitated. Yesterday a trades-
man named Levy came to any house, he having heard of
the robbery, and informed me that on last Tuesday week
he sold to the prisoner a gold watch; a gold chain, a ring,
and two brooches. This was mentioned in the presence
of the prisoner, who then said to me, " I em the one
who robbed you, and no one else, and I'll restore you
the money." She then addressed herself to Mr. Levy.
saying, " You'll return to Mrs. Sumption what I paid
you;" to which he replied, " We'll settle that another
time," and he then went away. After he was gone I
said to the prisoner " Now, Caroline;" when she re-
marked, " If you will only go out at that (the front kit-
chen) door fora minute I'll restore it;" upon which I
said, " Then it's in the kitchen ?" and she replied, " Yes,
it is." I told her she might just as well give
it to me where I was, as it Rai not my intention to go
eut, upon which she put her hand into an opening undr
the grate, and drew therefrom a parcel, which she gave
to me, saying, " There's your money." I opened it, and
found therein two 10/. notes, six 5/. notes, 38 sovereigns,
15 belf-sovereigns, 3 half-crowns, 2 shillings, and a six-
pence. I said to her, "Now, Caroline, give me the rest
of the things," and she drew from the same place as she
did the money, a gold watch, chain, key, ring, aid
brooch, which she gave into my hands.
Lockerby, 180 S, said, that he visited the house en
Sunday night lase, and upon examining the premises at
once felt satisfied that the robbery must have been
eff,cted by some one on the premiseo. Yesterday even-
ing he took the prisoner into custody, when she gave
him a brooch, which ,;he said was one of the two which
she had bought of Mr. Levy on the Tuesday week.
Witness remarked to her that that was before the rob-
bery, when she said that she knew that, and that she
made the purchases cf the watch and the whole of the
other articles with her mistress's money.
Mr LONG—Did she make this statement to you volun-
tarily? Witness—She did, Sir.
Mr. Lora—Did she tell you in what money she paid
for the articles? Witness—She told me that she changed
a 101. and a 5/. note, both of which she had taken from
the wardrobe; she also said that she had taken money
from there before.
Mr. LONG— Did she mention to you the amount she
paid for what she bought? Witness--No, Sir.
Mr. Levy was present, but it was not considered ne-
cessary by the magistrate to have him sworn as a wit-
ness in the case; he said that the goods purchased of
him came to 131., and he had no reason at the time to
imagine that the prisoner had come improperly by the
money.
In reply to the Magistrate, he said he should be wil-

WORSHIP-STREET.
A young man of very respectable appearance, whose
name, for reasons which will be obvious, it is unnecs-
sary to publish, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyr-
what, charged upon suspicion of having, in conjunction
with other men not in custody, barglariously broken
into the premises of Mr. John Edmonds, a silk manu-
facturer in Fort-street, Spitalfields, and stolen 'a large
quantity of raw and manufactured silk, weighing up-
wards of 5 cwt., and of the value of 6501.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been
about six years in his confidential employment in the
warehouse, and he had always. entertained the highest
opinion of his integrity up to Saturday last, when, at
shortly after seven in the morning, he was hastily called
down stairs by one of his servants with an intimation
that the premises had been broken into, and upon en-
tering the warehouse, which was in great disorder, he
found that the various drawers and other receptacles of
the stock had been taken out and plundered of the most
valuable portion of their contents, consisting of 323
pounds weight of raw silk, and nearly 1,500 yards of
manufactured silks, the entire bulk of which must have
amounted to about 5 cwt. He also found, upon ex-
amining his desks, that one of them had been forced and
ransacked by the thieves, who had carried off between
71. and 8/. in loose cash and other articles. On inspect-
ing the premises to ascertain how ingress had been ob-
tained, it was discovered that the staircase window,
overlooking the main street, and which had been care-
fully secured the night before, had been forced, and was
then wide open. The whole of the property was per-
fectly safe at four o'clock on Friday afternoon, when
witness left the premises in charge of the prisoner,
whose duty it YYJS to close the warehouse and deposit
the keys in a box adjoining the kitchen when he left at five
or six o'clock in the evening. About two hours after the
discovery of the robbery the prisoner presented himself
at the warehouse as usual, and after preparing an esti-
mate of the value and description of the goods stolen by
the burglars, was directed to distribute about the neigh-
bourhood a number of placards, offering a reward of
1001. for the apprehension of the thieves, and continued
to discharge his usual duties until the preceding after-
noon, when, in consequence of private information fur-
nished against him, he felt himself compelled to giro di-
rections for his apprehension.
