the waterbutt, and he came and kicked me in the
back, and then as I tried to get away again he
kicked me in the chest and stomach, and I have
been ill all night and walk with difficulty now. A
person got him away from me, and they sent for a
policeman ; when he came he tried to hit me again
and called me most filthy names. I have just come
from the hoopital.

gold pens, the property of his employer.
➢lr. Mudie said that the prisoner had been in his
employ about twelve months, and his duty being to
clean the shop he had access to all parts of it. For
some time past he had missed various articles, such
as penknives, pencil-cases, gold pens, &c., and last
night he called in a constable, who searched the
prisoner, and found on her several articles taken
from his show cases.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that on the previous day
he was charged with having some knives in his

possession.

lieved to be some of the prosecutor's knives.
Mr. Mudie said that amongst other articles be
missed
.a braid purse, and that was found on the
prisoner.

Mudie, accompanied by Shrives, 82 C, and on
searching the prisoner, found several articles on
him, all of which were identified by Mr. Mudie as

in Mr. Mudie's employ, gave him the articles. lie
afterwards had the hair purse given to him by a
barmaid, to whom the purse had been sold the pre-

other lad, notwithstanding what the other prisoner
had said.

Shrives said that on asking the prisoner whether
he had anything in his pockets, he said 44 No," but
he found on him a silver watch and some knives
and pens. He had no doubt he would be able to

a great many articles of the kind had been sold
about the neighbourhood lately.
