one of them called oht Eire thd trlaps at the door,
by God." Wituesl was fearful of a rescue, and prevailed
on the constable to take the prisoner away. Witness saw
two men in the house, one of whom ftAlowed them out..
By Mr. A nor.rHus—Had known the prisoner all his life.
He generally lived with his father and mother. His father
was a cow-keeper, and 11.;...d
.been dotal a few months. It

was a female voice that cried out in the house. -The pri-
soner's mother caught hold of her son, and tried to pull bith
inside. Witness said she ivas attempting a rektie, and she
then let go, and Went iritd theparlour. it' was a man of
colour who came out. Did not attempt to secure any of
the wamen or men in the house, nor to get any neighbour-
ing constable to de it. Had been upon cautious terms
with the prisoner and his fan3il7•.
Weeks, the constable, toilful:tied the statement of the
last witness, as to the apprehent3iOn:

Several witnesses Were called to prove that the prisonei
had been seen at Trelliek-place, ith if sleeping theie, drn'
that there Was rid person naincd Peppiott at Croydon.
He called several witnesses to character.

The word on the note, supposed to be " Croydon," was
written with pale WI, and much blotted; so as to be almost
illegible. _

The Learned Judge gummed u;), and the Jury retired
and returned a verdict of Not Guilty:

NEW COURT.
(Before the COAIMON SERGEANT!)

Catherine Poland stood indicted fur stealing a piece of
cotton cloth, value 2s. 10d., the property of Fetlieridge
and Co. of High-street, Whitechapel, linen-drapers.
The prosecutor stated, that on the 36th of October
last he received -information from his shopman, which
caused him to go up to the prisoner, who was standing
not far from the counter, and said to her, " I cannot let
von go, for you have something about you which you
have not, paid for." The prisoner answered, "I mu io.
capahlenf such a thing." Witness however insisted upon
her being searched, and called his housekeeper for the pur-
pose. The prisoner however seemed to be disinclined to
ho searched, and witness then threatened to send for an
officer. Upon this the prisoner said, "Do not send for
an officer, I will give you what you want." She accord-
ingly produced the piece of cotton from under her gown,
He then gave her into custody.

Cross-examined by Mr. Atr.vv.—Witness does not
know that the prisoner was bailed by Mr. Justice Bailey.
She might have been. - A few days before she had bought
goods to the amount of 131. from him.
John Couch is a shtpmau in the service of the
prosecutor. He remembers the prisoner coming
into his master's shop on the day in question, and

shawl was pinned up high, but afterwards ,he pinned it
lower down. Soon after she bad done this, she drew his
attention to another part of the counter, by asking him the
price of a piece of goods that was lying on it. While he
was answering her, he perceived that the parcel of goods
before her shrunk, and it seemed' as if something was
drawn away' from under it. In consequence of this, he
spoke to his master, who, when the prisoner was going
away, came up to her, and said that she had more about
her than she ought to have, or words to that effect. The
prisoner replied that she was incapable of such an act, and
that her name was Poland or I-!olock, he could not re-
member which. The prosecutor, however, threatened to
send for an officer. The prisoner begged he would not,
and said I will make you any recompense you like.
Cross-examined.—Witness does not remember that she
told where she lived. Does not remember that she said the
very gown she had on she bought at that shop. The piece
of cotton she bought and that which' she pulled from Under
her gown are of the same colour, and very like in appear-
ance, but does not think they could be mistaken one for
another. That which she bought was of a much finer
texture than the other.

The officer who took her into custody was then called,
but his evidence was not material.

The prosecutor, on being recalled, said that he believed
the prisoner said at the time that she lived at No. 15,
Alie-strut, Goodman's-fields.

For the defence a great number of witnesses were called,
who stated that the prisoner's husband was a respectable
engraver, that she was the mother of seven children, and
that she had always borne a most irreproachable character.
One of the witnesses, who bad known her:thirty years, said
that he considered it impossible that she could have com-
mitted the act imputed to her.

The COMMON SERGEANT, in summing up, said that
certainly a great deal might be said of the weight of a good
character in-doubtful cases, and the prisoner had received
a most respectable character, but it was still geilkg too fac
to say, as one of the witnesses had done, that it .was
possible for her to have done it. He was afraid experience
chewed that such things bud been done by persons bearing
irreproachable characters, and moving in a respectable
sphere of life. It appeared that the prisoner had laid out
a considerable sum of money at the shop a few days befoTe,
and that she was not in a situation of life in which it
was likely for her to have the temptation of want
before her to induce her to commit the act. Indeed,
from all they saw of her, it appeared highly improbable
that slut should have committed the act, and the Jury would
therefore be well convinced that the evidence brought the
fact clearly home, before they could find her guilty. After
having heard the evidence read through, the Jury can-
suited together for a few minutes, and then found the pri-
soner Guilty," but recommended her to mery, in consi-
deration of her large family, and previous good character,
The prisoner ie 46 years of age, was most respectably
attired, and appeared greatly agitated during the trial.

We were informed at the conclusion of the trial that the
prisoner's name was Polock, but the indictment had it
Poland.
