NEW COURT.

Susan Tewksbury and Mary Ann Skiffin, two
young woman, lo igers at No. 55, Chapel-street, Somers
Town, were indicted for stealing on the Ist of August
•sue scarf and two pins, the property of Gabriel Souza, a
Portuguese Jew pedlar.
The prosecutor stated, in dreadfully broken English,
that on the Ist of August he called at 55, Chapel-street,
Somers Town, for the purpose of disposing of some of
his articles of merchandize. He there saw the prisoners,
to whom be showed a variety of jewellery, and the young
ladies purchased a pair of ear-rings from him for 65., one
shilling of which was paid down, and the prosecutor agreed
to receive the rest by instalments. At the conclusion of
this transaction the prisoners complained of being thirsty,
in consequence of having eaten some bacon for din-
ner, and the prosecutor thinking he had got two good cue
turners, and being determined to be gallant, fetched a pot
of that vulgar beverage called porter, of which the ladies,
nothing loath, most freely partook. This, however, did
not satisfy their drinking propensities, and Moses treated
them with another pot, which soon followed the fate of
the last. The prosecutor remained with the ladies up-
wards of an hour, and then went to another customer in
Lancaster-street, where, on opening his box of finery, be
discovered his loss, returned to the lodging of the prisoners,
and taxed them with it.

The COMMON SERJEANT asked the prosecutor how hr
came to treat the ladies with the porter ? (Laughter.)
The prisecutor stated that he always gave his customer.
something to drink.
The COMMON SERJEANT-0 ! you do not like to
strikes dry bargain?—(Laughter.) The prosecutor said
he never did.

The COMMON SERJEANT—What were you doing, pro-
secutor, during the whole of the hour you wera with these
ladies ? Prosecutor—O, my good Lord, nothing.
The COMMON SERJEANT—Did you not attempt tr,
play the agreeable@ with them ?—Prosecutor said, "0.
no, my good Lord," with a most significant shrug of the
shoulders, which caused the Court and Jury to be ccn-
vulsed with laughter.
A police constable of the S division, took the prisoner-
int• custody, and found the articled missed by the prose
cutor at a pawnbroker's.
The pawnbroker identified the prisoners as the partie-
who brought the articles to pledge.
Tewksbury, in her defence, said, that the prosecutor
attempted to take liberties with her, and on her threaten
ing to call in a policeman, he gave her the property
to pacify her, and said if she would meet him on a future
day, he would give her a gold chain.
The COMMON SERJEANT asked the prosecutor if do
story of the prisoner was tree, and whether he had pro-
mised her a gold chain.
Prosecutor, with apparent surprise, exclaimed— A
gold chain ! Oh, my Got ! What a wicked woman sir.
must be, to say that. I only endeavoured to be as agree.
able as I could to the ladies, for the purpose of inducins
them to buy my articles ;—(Laughter)—but as to pro-
mising either of them a gold chain—Oh, my Got ! I
never did such a thing.
Skiffin, in her defence, said that she was absent about
ten minutes in endeavouring to procure 3s. for the prose-
cutor, and knew nothing of :he theft.
The COMMON SERJEANT summed up, remarking upon
the length of time the prosecutor was with the ladies, when
ten minutes would have been quite sufficient to enable him
to puff off his finery and conclude his bargains.
The jury acquitted the prisoner..
The COMMON SERJEANT VIP, on making inquiry, b
had ascertained the prisoners had conducted thernselv,s
most properly in prison.
