STEALING PORK AND PIG SKlNS.—Alfred Saville,
youth who had been only three days in the employ of Mr.
James Poulter, pork butcher and sausage maker, of Lang-
ley-place, Commercial-road East, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with stealing a quantity of pig skins and
%lbs. of pork, the property of his employer.
A young woman in the service of the prosecutor said the
prisoner was in her master's shop yesterday morning, and
suspecting him watched him carefully, and saw him take a
paper bag containing something bulky from under the
counter. The prisoner took from the bag a piece of fresh
pork and some pig skins, and put them into a tut) of saw-
dust with which ho descended into the cellar and resumed
his work of chopping up meat for sausages. Mr. Poulter was
apprised of the robbery in the course of the day and looked
into prisoner's coat pocket whore he saw the pork and pig
skins secreted. Mr. Poulter said nothing to the prisoner then,
and allowed him to finish his work and leave the house in
the evening. Mr. Poulter followed him and asked him
what property he had about him, to which he replied,
"Nothing belonging to you." Mr. Poulter gave the pri-
soner into custody, and he was searched. The pig skins,
valued at 2s. Gd., were found in the prisoner's coat pocket,
and the pork was found concealed in his trousers.

Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he had any questions
to ask of the witnesses, to which he replied in the negative,
and on being asked if he had any defence to make, said he
had none. lie took the pork and pig skins.

Mr. Poniter, in answer to a question, said the prisoner
had been in leis employ three days only.
Inspector Bendy—The prisoner has refused his address.

Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to one month's im-
prisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of
the pork and pig skins.
