The prosecutor was at a public house, in White-

suaded him to go home with her. As soon as he had
got into bed she put out the light, and then went off
wi..1.1 the articles. A short time after came the mate
prisoner, and insisted on his quitting the room instant-
ly, as it was his. He begged to be allowed to lay till
morning, as I e had been robbed ; to this the prisoner
consented ; but before it was day-light returned, and
insisted peremptorily on his going away. He then
puiied the prosecutor out of bed, and pushed him out

clothes that were left after him. He admitted that
he had been drinking on the preceding day, but de-
nied that he was so much in liquor as to be unconsci-
ous of what passed.

turning home on the night in question, she found the
prosecutor lying in her bed, quite drunk ; she asked
him to go away, which he refused, and she left him.

to whom she told the story, and begged he would
get the prosecutor out of her room. She supposed
some one must have come after she went away, and
taken his things, as the door of her room had but a
latch.— Not Guilty.
