Mr. Crippa, lona rd of the Westmoreland Arms,
employed as barmaid. Haiing suspi-
cion
sixpences, and placed thorn in the- till.k andhede
fo'lowing morning he missed three ofithose
a'nd at once accused her of purloining-. them.',. This
she denied, and expressed a wilfingnesstotavo her
boxes and bedroom searched:- Leather,:=anofficer
of the N division, and prosecutor, with thergirl, • -
then proceeded to her private apartment;-whe.rel one
of thesixpences was found on the -dra-wers-i-:ancLin—
other in her purse, while a bottle containing a small
quantity of brandy and a second one empty, as
also about 3s. in copper, 'were discovered ,betwtien
the bed and mattress. She denie d all knowledge
of the latter articles, and insisted that the 6(L' had.
been given by her mistress. She ,was, howaVer,
given into custody, and at the station some biscuit's
were found in her pocket.
A lad in prosecutor's service stated 'that on the
day the prisoner was charged he found a marked
sixpence on the kitchen grate, and also some
coppers. -
On I:eng asked by Om magistrate whether she
wished the case to he decided there or before a jury
1110 prisoner siid, "I am nut guilty, and I do not
see why I should he mide to suffer in this way"
(at the same time bursting into tears); but I will bo
judged by you, sir."
Mr. D'Eyricourt said be believed her guilty, but
in consideration of her youth would only send her
for six weeks to the House of Correction. .
Mr. Thomas Beird then said that he had for-
borne mentioning, not wishing to prejudice the
case, ilia a second charge of robbery was clear
against the prisoner, whom, despite her assumption
of innocence, he 'could prove an adept in guilt.
In her boxes were found books and wearing,appared,
the property of Mrs. Woolard, a forrner'ziaistre as
of the prisoner, and landlady:of the Fountain pub-
lic-house, in the _through. This lady had ritually
given her a character to Mr. Cripps, and was now
ready to identify the property alluded to ; but the
charge of rubbery would n.t be proceeded with,
if the prix finer was willing to give them up. •
The articles were produced, and again the girl
strenuously denied her guilt, accounting in different
ways for her poeserion of them—of course, how-
ever, she would be willing to give them up, rather
than be prosecuted.
Mr. Bard observed that more consideration for
the pi isonerhe believed could. not have been exhi-
bited, anal

D'Eyncourt, r. marking that robberies of
this etas; upon publican; by those placed in a posi-
tion of t: wit, were very serious and very frequent,
the prisoner was sent for the term of imprisonment
named.
