Chatfield,' a young nutnovas brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with robbing his master. -
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the
Prosecution. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr.
Joseph Dempsey, a draper, of No. 49, Crisp-street, Poplar,
for the last five months at a salary of £2O per annum, with
board and lodging. The prosecutor had missed a good
deal of property in the course of that time. This morning
he
missed two shirts and two pairs of drawers from his
stock. Mr. Dempsey called the prisoner and six other
assistants together and told them he had missed property,
and if they were honest they would not object to hays,
their boxes searched. The prisoner and another offered

side the door, and took the prisoner with two others into
the room. Another man's box in the room was searched
and nothing was found. The prisoner then unlocked his
box and took out two scarves, two under shirts, three
pairs of socks, and four pairs of drawers, valued in all £2
2s. 6d. The whole were new and the property of Mr.
Dempsey. Two coloured shirts produced were in the
shop 10 days ago and had not been sold. The prisoner
had admitted taking the property.
Evidence was given in support of the solicitor's state-
ment, and it was proved that when he came into Mr.
Dempsey's service he said he was stumped for money, that
he had lately been spending cash very freely, and a con-
siderable sum was found upon him. •
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner until Thursday
next.
