ROBBERY BY A SERVANT GIRL.—Ann StOVellitO, a
young woman about 19 or 20 years of age, and lately in the
employ of Mr. William Henry Harris, mantle manufac-
turer, of No. 4, Sidney-place, Commercial-road east, was
charged with robbing her master.
_ _

Mrs. Jane Harris, the wife of the prosecutor, stated that
the prisoner had only been in her service three weeks, and
she had reason to believe that the girl had been rebbing
her almost daily in the course of that time. On Monday
last the prisoner had leave of absence for the day, but she
hesitated to take her holiday. On Tuesday the prisoner was
out all day, and in her absence she took the liberty of
peeping into her servant's box, and found in it a new mantle,
stolen from the shop, where she had seen it on Monday
morning. She also discovered in the same box several
lengths of velvet and other property which had been stolen
from the shop. She accused the prisoner with the robbery,
and she made an excuse that she took the mantle for the
purpose of wearing it for one day only, and then intended
to return it to the shop. She allowed the prisoner to de-
part, bnt having since discovered that other mantles had
been stolen she gave the prisoner into custody, and
employed a police constable to trace the stolen pro-
perty. Three pawnbrokers' assistants produced four
new mantles, which Mrs. Harris identified as her pro-
perty. They had all been pawned by the
prisoner, who had ;used upon one• occasion the name of a
relative, Margaret Brown, of No. 13, School-house •lane.
Mrs. Brown said her name was used without her autho-
rity, and that when the prisoner brought a new mantle to
her house she begged of her to take it back to her master's
house, and, not give way to dishonesty. The poor woman
was much affected at the disgrace brought upon her by the
prisoner.

The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Selfe—You have lost your character, and now you
will lose your liberty. You had better in future take the
advice of Mrs. Brown. I commit you for larceny and sen-
tence you to three months' imprisonment and hard labour
in the House of Correction.
