THAMES.

THE SAILOR AND HIS LADL—Elizabeth Felton, a Nep-
tune-street woman, aged 23 years, was charged with steal-
ing sundry articles of new wearing apparel, the property
of Henry Allen, a seaman.

It appeared that less than three weeks ago the seaman
was paid off front his ship, and he received about £35 in
weges. He fell in with the prisoner and married her over
the brootn, in fact, ho said, sho was to be any wife while I
remained in port; and I spout £29 over her iu a fortnight.,
and she ought to have been satisfied. I squared up at
the Sailor's Home in Well-street, where my things were,
ou Saturday, and all was right there. My ship did not
go away as was expected that day, and I came back to that
lady there and found she had pawned all the things I had
left there.
Mr. I3enson—Now, don't call her a lady ; she is any-
thing but that.
The Seaman—Well, I behaved like a gentleman to her.
I gave her 295. on Thursday, and money whenever she
wanted it.
Two pawnbroker's assistants produced the property.
One handed in a new coat and vest pawned for 135., and
the other a new silk handkerchief and a new pair of
trousers for ss. A woman named Cloyne, In the service
of the prisoner, pawned the articles.
Mr. Benson said he would not allow the woman Cloyne
to be sworn. She was as bad as the prisoner, and ought
to have been charged with her.
The prisoner raid "her sailor" left behind him a lot of
old things, and she did not expect him to return. She
told her servant Cloyno to pawn them.
Mr. Benson said all the articles wore bran new, and had
never been worn. The prisoner had behaved very badly
to " her sailor," as she termed him. He fined her £2 for
unlawfully pawning, and ordred her to pay £2 in addi-
tion, the value of the clothes, in all £4, or be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for
,one month. The clothes
were to be given up to the sai r.
