of the check-takers told me a girl in the stalls was
in possession of several sovereigns, which she kept
c I called her to me and questioned. her.
She produced four sovereigns and four shillings
from her right hand. I asked if that was all, she
said " yes." At the station I found in her hand
3 sovereigns and 14s. She informed me that she
had found it in the Mile-end-road. She carried a
dark leathern reticule, and in it was a dram bottle
and glass. I noticed she was partly intoxicated. On
the same day I learnt from our "informations"
that a lady had been robbed in an omnibus ; and
when I inquired of the person who sat near her,
she informed me a girl about 14 years old, carrying
a black bag. The lady is present. On the prisoner
I found an omnibus correspondence ticket.

Paddington omnibus and proceeded to the Bank,
then got into a Hackney omnibus. While in the
latter I distinctly saw a young girl sitting next mo
on the side where was a pocket containing a purse
with a 5/. note, 8 sovereigns, two rings, and some
memoranda. I cannot positively swear to the pri-
soner as that person, who was much better dressed
than the prisoner, but I can almost swear to the
bag. I dont't know when the girl entered or
alighted, nor did I miss my property until at a
gentleman's residence in Durham-terrace, Hackney-
road, at 8 o'clock in the evening. I gave informa-
