The prisoner said that the prosecutor owed her ls. Bd.,
'ivhich he bad not paid her, Sind that being entirely with-
out money she had pawned the coats to keep herself tr( m
starvation.
In reply to Mr. Alderman Wire, the prisoner slid she
*as paid 6d. for making each coat, which took her seven

lieurity for the matetials, and her securities were quite
ready to take them out of pawn and restore them to the
