ITURUStris Benjamin was indicted for stealing a
Watch, the property of John Forster.
and
The
he prisoner and prosecutor had been shipmates.,
t prisoner visited the prosecutor's mother,
Who lived servant in a gentleman's family, in corn-
Puy with a female. After spending some time
with the mother in the kitchen, the prisoner and
Ins
-ompanion departed. The watch in question
had been seen hanging up in the kitchen a short
time after the prisoner arrived, and was missed
shortly after he was gone.
John Forster, the owner of the watch, saw the
p,risoner in a brig which was starting for St.
"Onlingo. He went on board and taxed the pri-
son with the theft. He denied it, but said that he
had seen it hanging up in the room of the female
aecompaniea him to the house, and would call
on the prosecutor and take him to her house ; he
however never called, and the prosecutor after-
wards saw him in custody.
The prisoner, in defence, laid the whole of the
blame on the female who had not been yet disco-
vered any more than the watch.
The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, re-
turned a verdict of " Not Guilty."
