UNION HALL-( THIS DAY.)

Mary White was charged with robbing Ann Wilson, her sister.
The complainant stated that she was a married woman, and
the prisoner, who was her sister, had been for some time residing
with her. About a week ago, during her temporary absence
from home, the prisoner absconded, taking with her a quantity
of wearing apparel belonging to witness, whose drawers and
boxes were ransacked of nearly all they contained. Com-
plainant, however, would have put up with the loss, severe
as it was to a poor woman like her, rather than proceed
against so near a relative, if it had not been for the fact of her
husband accompanying the prisoner in her flight ; and un-
natural as it may appear, they were found living together as
man and wife. '1 he prisoner denied stealing the articles, but
she did not utter a word with respect to the absconding with
her sister's husband.—She was remanded.
