A DISHONEST FELLOW-LODGER CAUGHT IN HER OWN
TRAP.—Jane Webb, 32, described as a married woman, was
brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a gold
ring and a large quantity of linen, female wearing apparel
and other property, belonging to Mrs. Emma Appleton.
The two females occupied the same apartments, and slept
in the same bed, at 3i, Middle Grove-street, St. George's-
in-the-East. On Wednesday, at 11 o'clock, the prisoner
left home, and said she was going to consult a surgeon in
the neighbourhood on account of severe illness. She did
not return, and Mrs. Appleton took stock of her goods and
missed many things. The prisoner had been robbing
Mrs. Appleton at intervals for several weeks. A
gold ring with a black stone in it, belonging to Mrs.
Appleton's husband, was missed three weeks ago, and the
prisoner then endeavoured to persuade the prosecutor that
another woman had been robbing her. On Sunday week
the prisoner left a large bundle with a woman of her
acquaintance, named Ellen Blake, at No. 22, George-terrace
St. George-in-the-East. The bundle contained four toilet,
covers, two night gowns, a chemise, three strips of needle-
work, and other articles, all belonging to Mrs. Appleton.
On Monday last the prisoner asked for the loan of a clothes
basket of Mrs. Ann'Schoultze, of 9, Thomas-street, Com-
mercial-road. Tha basket was lent to her, and she returned
it on Wednesday filled with the property belonging to Mrs
Appleton. The prisoner asked Mrs. Schoultzo to take'
care of the basket and its contents. The prisoner after-
wards sent a letter to Mrs. Schoultzo in accordance with a
previous arrangement. The letter was intercepted by
James Floyd, a polioe-constable, 179 H, and he wont to
the address given by the prisoner in the Waterloo-road
and arrested her. He asked her if she lead any pawn-
tickets, and she handed to him a purse containing twelve
pawnbrokers' duplicates, all relating to the stolen property.
The constable searched the house, and found in it a cheque
for £7 18s. on the London and Westminster Bank, payable
to the order of a Mr. G. Weston, which she said she picked
up in Southwark, and had endeavoured in vain to find the
Owner.

Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner, and directed in-
quiries to be made about the cheque and its owner.
