lic horde, at the corner of Union area, Hackney-
road; her money was ufhally depofited in a drawer
that 'flood in her bed room, to which nobody had
accefs except herfelf, her hulband, lifter, and the'
prifoner, who was her confidential fervent. In
confequence of fome previous communications,
her Mier, who bad feveral nights flept with the
fervent, on the morning of the 29th November,
about one o'elock, brought the pocket of the pri:
toner to the witnefs's bed room. Sitting up in her
bed, the, in the pretence of her hufband and filter,
examined the pocket, and found the money man-
dated in the indiament, together with a (mall
key of a very common conftruition. Every thing
was again returned into the pocket, which it eight
o'clock the fame morning was delivered to an on
fiver of juftice. About an hour previous to the
arrival of the officer, the witnefs went up lairs til
the fervenes room, and found her getting out of
bed. She complained of the lots oiler under pett
ticoat, aed begged of her miftrefs to inquire- or
her fifter whether the had perceived it ? The wit+
nefi replied, that the knew nothing of the petty
coat, but that the had her pocket; upon whtelt
the girl bruit into tears, and cried out, "
bleffeci miftrefi, have mercy upon mei" The arils
nets replied,“ a great deal of mercy you have had
upon me, I can hang you; and I will." She thee
queftioned het how the came by the key ? to which
the prifoneranfwered, that the had picked it up in
the cellar, and finding it fit the lock of the money
drawer, bad purloined the money without any
idea of harm, She then canted the girl to be
locked up in the club room, fromilherice (he was
tailed down on the arrival of Armftrong, the offi-
cer; the pocket was then produced, and Arm.'
boo& in the pretence of the witnefs,ber huilsanrkl
sod Mgr, examined its contents, qoeftioning the
prifoner, to whom the money belonged t who
, that it beloved to her :Wares. Arm.
„Ohm therisrent to the money drawer, applied the
Le* found in the prifonaes pocket, which exaaly
attad the lock. She was certain that the notes
!lute her own property, from the circumftance of
having written upon feveral of them the names of
Abe perfons from whom the received them. Upon
trofs4zamination, the pofitively denied having
allured the. prifoner by hopes of pardon, to make
sew confernon tending to cntninate herfelf. She
three, candidly cookffed, that the prifoner's friends
were very reputable people, and that the, herfelf,
previous to this unfortunate affair, bad always
borne a fair and upright charaaer.

Losoraing, whibzehe prifoner was alleep, the took
her pocket from under her pillow, and carried it
to her filler; the put her band into the pocket,
thook it, and thought the could diftingurth the

witnefs's fifer,
_in her, and her own hulband's
fence, examined the pocket, and found the money
mentioned in the inshanseot, which the (Mrs.
Smith) inftantly recognized to be her own pro-
.perty. Upon her crofs examination, the Paid, that
the returned for her clothes to the apartment of
the prifoner, who, however, did not at that time
awake.
George Armftrong was next called, and Rated,
that on tire morning of the 29th November, be
was tent for so the houfe of William Smith, the
profecutor, where the prifoner was given into his
charge. He called down the fervent, and in her
pretence the pocket was produced, opened, and the
money laid upon the table. He then raked her
whole money it was ? She anfwered, that it be-.,
longed to her suiftrefs, and that the thought there
had been no harm in taking it. He then went,
up•ftain with• the key, which bad alfo been found'
in her pocket, and upon applications, found that l
mealy fitted-the lock of the money drawer.
William Seritlr,the profecutor, Paid, that he wax,

toner's pocket had been examissei. He taw the

fefs the would Dot hurt a hair Of ber bead for the

bcingloeiliosed tefpeaing the truth of this Rate-
ascot, poficively denied that the bad ever ufed any
