being concerned in stealing or receiving notes, bills, and cheque!,
to the amount of 5001. which were stolen in June last, the pro-
perty of a Mr. Cutts. the owner of the Tide Milk, at Bishopstone,
Sums. It appeared from the statement of fit. Cutts, thst in June
last, one of his sons, who acted as a collecting clerk, brought home
in a wicker basket bills and notes, amounting to 5001. which be gape
to one of the clerks to carry into the countingslinuse. The clerk
was closing the counting-house windows at the time. and most im-
prudently placed the basket on the ground, and during his momen.
tary absence, while hr went into the counting house for one of the
shutters, sonic person carried away the basket and its contents.
Information of the robbery was given' at Bow-street Office, and
officers proceeded to the spot, and used every tsertioo to discover
the parties who had so dexterously possessed themselves of the large
booty; but they could not So guilt upon any one, though suspicions
arose that some pentane connected with Mr. Clat's establishment
bad carried off the property. Some of the notes were stopped at
the Bank of England, and that circumstance led to the appreheo.
sloe of the prisoner.
Mr. Stewart a clerk in the Bank of England, said, that on the
itOtb of September last a female resembling the prisoner, and a
young man came to the Bank, and presented a 201. note (which he
produced). and which Mr. Cutts identified as part of the stolen
property. to be cashed. He had received a previous commonka.
tion from Tornio'', requesting him, if that note vise presented, to
stop it; but he was not authorised to detain the patty who pre-
sented it. The female gave her name Simmons. Hr could not
swear positively that the prisoner was the person who presented
the note, but he believed she was.

Mrs. Stubblefield did not deny that at the time of the mbbery

young man presenting the ,e2O note on the 24th of September last,
at the Bank. The female gave her name Simmons; be could net
swear positively to the prisoner, but her voice and person bore so
strong a resemblance to that female, that be believed• she was the

Mr. Missnutt said, there masted great suspicion that the pri-
soner was the woman who presented the note at the Bank, and that
she was in some way concerned in the robbery, or in receiving the
stolen property; but as the witnesses could sot speak positi►ely to
her person, and as the affair rested solely on the question of identity,
