AFFECTING STORY.

At the Maidstone Petty Sessions, Snrah Greengrove,
a girl about fifteen years of age, was charged with steal.
ing ten turnips, value 4d., the property of Mr. Charles
Frederick Baxter.

James Smith, a man in the employ of Mr. Baxter,
stated, that on going into the field yesterday (Tuesday)
morning, about six o'clock, he observed the prisoner
pulling turnips ; he went up to her, when sho dropped
them and walked away, but was apprehended in the
course of the morning.

The girl denied taking ten, but stated that she had
come from Marden that morning, where she had been
hopping, and being very hungry and thirsty, went into
the field and drew four turnips.
Mr. ELLis said, there was no direct evidence of her
having taken ten turnips, but from her own admission
she had taken four under the circumstances stated. It
did not appear that she was one of those that had com-
mitted depredations there before, and he should leave it
for Mr. Baxter to use his own discretion in going any
further with the case. _

Mr. Baxter said he wished to press the case, as he had
lost a great many turnips, and he had been subject to
several severe depredations lately on his farm.
Mr. ELLIS thought this a very different case to that
of an old offender.

Mr. Baxter said they had a great difficulty in catching
them, and ho was determined to make an example of the
first one.

Mr. ELLis regretted very much that his appeal to Mr.
Baxter had no effect, for he felt extremely sorry to be
obliged to send her to prison ; but as Mr. Baxter seemed
determined to press the charge they had no alternative
but to do that. She was then sentenced to pay 4d., the
value of the turnips, 3s. 6d. costs, and 6d. penalty.
Prisoner said she had no money, and was ordered to
sit down.

Shortly after a boy entered the Court, crying bitterly,
and on going towards the bench said that he had taken
his shoes from off his feet and pawned them to pay for
his sister. He then gave the money to the magistrates'
clerk, Mr. Case, and the girl was discharged.
We understand that the money was refunded to the
boy, and he immediately went to redeem his shoes.

SUNDAY TRAVELLING.—That it should be a day of
greater leisure than other days, and of the suspension,
so far as it may be, of the common business of life, I
quite allow ; but then I believe that I should have much
greater indulgence for recreation on a Sunday than you
might have ; and, if the railway enables the people in
the great town to get out into the country on the Sun-
day, I should think it a very great good.—Dr. Arnold,
