years, and ene evening in September last he visited her at her lodg-
ings in Ferri-street, Seven Dials, and remained there until the morn.

pretence of getting some cremes, but she did not return, and be
found that she had taken his watch, which was lying on the table,
with her. He did not see her until last Saturday night, when be
told her he wanted his watch, and requested her, if she had pawned
it, to restore the duplicate, and he would forgive her. Sbe refused,

duplicate? and she immediately took it from her pocket and gave it
up. It appeared that she pledged the watch at a pawnbroker's.

watch she was dreadfully distressed, having parted with her clothes,
and everything upon which she could raise a shilling.

• prosecute the prisoner ?
Cross said be had no particular desire to prosecute if he could
