conjunction "and." The receipt and date at the top
appeared to have been written in black ink, and the
undertaking in ink of a different colour.
There was evidence called as to the hand-writing, and
a witness, named Bowtell, deposed to having heard the
defendant make certain admissions as to his liability
to pay the commission.
For the defence it was contended that the alleged
undertaking was a forgery, which had been inserted
over the receipt, for the purpose of supporting the pre-
sent action.

The Learned SECONDARY having summed up, the
Jury retired, and, after an absence of two hours, re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.

On the verdict being delivered,
Mr. DOANE, on the part of the defendant, applicd
to have the book impounded as a forgery.
The SECONDARY thought he had no power to im-
pound it. It was accordingly delivered to plaintiff's
attorney.

Mr. C. Jones appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Doane for the defendant.

BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Margaret Angus, Alexander Johnson, and Hu.th
_Steele, were placed at the bar on the charge of stealing
eight 51. notes, the property of Thomas Fairweather.
Mr. Robinson, the attorney, conducted the pro-
secution.

Thomas Fairweather deposed that he was a purser
in the Navy, and lived at Market Weighton,
Yorkshire. On the 20th of August last he was
lodging at Miss Shepherd's, No. 7, Arundel-street,
Strand, where the female prisoner was a servant.
On the 19th of August he placed eight 51. notes
in a portmanteau in his bedroom, leaving
the key in the room. The female prisoner saw him
deposit the notes in his portmanteau. On the morn-
ing of the 21st, witness went to his portmanteau and
found that his money was gone. The female prisoner
also had absconded.

Miss Robina Sheppard, of No. 7, Arundel-street,
deposed that the female prisoner entered her service
on the 6th August. She stated to witness at
that time that she had come up from Manchester
with two men named Johnson and Steele ; and that
she was to meet them on the next day at three o'clock
on Waterloo-bridge. On that day accordingly she
went out, and witness saw her speaking to the two
other prisoners. On the 20th August she asked to go
out again for a few minutes to buy a collar. Wit-
ness gave her permission to go, and she never returned.
She had previously stated to witness that she had no
money whatever.

Sarah Hudson kept a coffee-shop at 54, Fore-
street, Limehouse. The prisoners, Johnson and Steele,
lodged with witness in the early part of August. On
the '2oth August the female prisoner came to witness's
house. She asked witness to go and buy a bonnet
and cap for her. Witness did so, and in payment
for them she tendered a Si. note. Witness went
to another shop with her, where she changed another
Si. note.

William White, shopman to Cornelius Ilelginius
Tambs, of Shadwell, proved that on the evening of
the 20th of August, the three prisoners came to his
master's shop, when the female purchased three black
silk handkerchiefs and three pairs of stockings. She
tendered a 51. note in payment.
All these notes, which were produced, were iden-
tified as being the same as those lost by Mr. Fair-
weather.

Several other witnesses were called, who con-
nected the prisoners together in a variety of private
transactions.

Sergeant Western proved taking the prisoners into
custody—Steele, in Renfrewshire, Scotland ; John-
son, in London ; and Margaret Angus, in Derby ;
and a letter from Steele to Johnson, indicating a
knowledge of the transaction, was put in and proved
to be in his handwriting.
Mr. TWYFORD committed the prisoners to take their
trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions.
