and discharged by 7pfcielfitnatioti,' the (Gaud 'July not hav-

Mary lidsOn4s Was indicted' fox: Stealing On the 23d of
August, in the dwelling-house of Thomas Moss, 24 sove-
reigns, and a Bank note of the value of 101., . the property
of John Storey : -another account charged her with steal-
ing
seven sovereigns in the same house, stating them to be
the property of Ellen Eleanor Dalway.
Mr. BRODERICK appeared for the prosecution, and stated
the case to the Jury. A Mrs. Dalway lived as a lodger
with Mr. Moss, upon whom the prisoner was in the habit
of attending. Mrs. Dalway died, and the prisoner was
sent fok,end sat up 'with the corpse, when it writ supposed
she took away the property in question, which belonged
to the deceased. Mr. Storey was the executor of the late
Mrs. Dalway.
Mr. Storey deposed that he was one of the executors ;
went to the house of Mr. Moss to take an inventory of
the property which belonged to deeeased. In consequence
of something that had- passed, witness sent for prisoner,.
and then asked her if she knew the object of his having
sent for her ;, she said, no, unless it was in consequence of
some paper having been taken from under the. bed. Wit-
ness told her that was not the object, but it was in respect
of some money having been taken away, and asked her if
she had not been so informed on that morning; prisoner
denied it; witness then sent'for Mrs.'Moss, whO'stated
that she had informed prisoner of the Object, who at that
time admitted it. It was on Monday, the 28th of August
that this transpired.
Cross-examined by Mr. AniEi-'—Had not yet taken out
probate, nor begun to act as an executor until the 28th,
after the alleged offence had. been committed.
By the Coun't-Prisoner was Mrs. D.'t confidential
servant, and would lave- had let late .mistress's property
till it was put into the hand of the executors. •
Mr. Round; itittbstribing- witness the-will, proved
the execution of 'it. ' The will appointed Mr. Storey an
executor.

Mrs. E. Hillyard lived for many'years -with deceased it
Kensington. During Mrs. D.'s lifetiMe, witness had the
care of her clothes and property.' Mi. D. always' kept
her money in'the Cellaret during the day-time, and inva-
riably gave it to witness at night to put under the bed.
On the day Mrs. D. died, there were three parcels of
Money in the cellaret, which witness saw there on the fol-
liming morning. Prisoner came to the house about an.
hour before the death, and remained till Monday, having
had the care of the corpse • and room during that time.
The money was.placed by witness in the room where the
corpse was on the Friday or Saturday. No one , had ad.;
mittance there except the prisoner and' her 'niece. Did
not open the parcels when she removed them, to know
that the money was in them.
By Mr. ALLEY—Did not know of her own knowledge,
that money was in the parcels; the parcels were wrapt up,
in paper, but did not know what they contained.
• By Mr. BRODERICK—Prisoner left the house on Mon-
day morning, about an hour after the money, was missed.
By the Comr--This was the Way in which Mrs. I).
Malay kept her money.
Susan Rust was servant to Mrs. Matthews, of Kensing-
ton; knows the prisoner at the bar ; she lived about ten
'minutes walk from Mrs. Matthews's bonse; witness forMerly
lived two years as servant to prisoner; on the 19th Of Au-
gust 'prisoner •Ctime'to witness,- gave'her apar&,l, and de-
sired her to take care of it for her; thi!i'was bet Ween seven
And eight o'CloCk 'in the Morning; witness put the panel
into her"box, and afterwards delivered, it to Ellis, a Bow-
street officer.

Ellis, in canieqUence of information received, went to
the house Qf Mrs. Matthews, on Tuesday, the 29th of
August, and got a parcel from the last witness, which
contained 24 sovereigns and a 101. note. Afterwards saw.
the prisoner; enquired of her if. she had any means of
getting her livelihood but as a nurse; she hesitated to
reply, and witness told her who he was, and that where
she had been staying, some money was missing. She Said
she had some property on mortgage; she usually received
thoney from her bmther, hut had not for some time. She
denied a dozen tunes over having placed any in the hands
of anybody for safe custody or otherwise. Witness then
chewed her the parcel as 'received from Rust, which she
acknowledged having delivered to him. A clerk from
the banking-house of Praed and CO. paid, on the 11th of
July, three 101. notes, to the cheque of a Mr.. Alexander.
Mr. •Hunt,. a clerk to Mr. Alexander, a solicitor, re-
ceived the notes. froth last witness, and paid 'them to his
diadem

Mr;Alexander paid the notes to his nephew, to deliver
over to Mrs. D.

• Mr. Bronme'delivered over 40/: to Mrs. D. on or before
the 12th off July, included in which there, was the .1(1/.
note the prisoner was charged with having stolen. The
note was produced.

, At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Alley
submitted, that no charge had been made out against the
prisoner, because it. was necessary for probate of the will
to have been taken out, to have legally authenticated (as
he said) the executor to have acted, which had not yet
been taken out, and because possession ought to have been
taken before the offence was committed, which had not
been done in this ease.

Mr. Sergeant Attmini was of a different opinion, lint as
the .itidges were in the adjoining room he would submit Mr.
Alley's argument to them, and take their opinion upon it,
confessing that his impression was against Air. Alley's pro
positions. Mi. -Sergeant Arabia then left the Court;
and in a few minutes, returned, stating,that the Learn-
ed ','Judges Were decidedly of opinion that it sas not
necessary that probate should be taken out to enable
.an
executor to maintain` an indictment, and that the present.
indictuiesn, WAS in all, respects well fratned.
The prisoner was then called on for her defence: She
'made none, but produced an immense number of highly
respectable" 'Orson' Achngave her a m6St excellent cha-
racter for liOnesty, Ste. The prisimer was evidently a:person
who had seen better days, and was about the age of 45.
Mr. Sergeant. ARAIIIN summed up. If the joy 'enter-
tAined'the' least 'doubt of the 'prisoner's guilt, they would
have to give her the benefit Of the most excellent dlitruc-
tr she had received.

The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty, but
strongly recommended her to mercy.
Mr. STOREY cordially joined in this recommendation.
The Learned Judge said, it should unquestionably be
attended to in the proper quarter.
