room, as suggested by the magistrate, would weaken his
disposable force,which was already too small, not fewer than
300 men being required for the protection of the docks

SINGULAR CASE OF THEFT BY A DOMESTIC SERVANT.
—Elizabeth Todhunter, a servant with Mr. Turner, of 28,
Roscommon-street, Everton, was charged with stealing
LO, and some trifling articles of furnishing from the house.
From the evidence of Mrs. Turner, it appeared that the
prisoner had been in her service about eleven weeks, and
brought a good character with her. On 'Friday last,
Turner, having occasion to go across, the water, left the
prisoner in Charge of the house. On the return of witness,
the prisoner told her the house had been entered by two
men, who ill-used her and opened a drawer in which she
(prisoner) kept her things, and stole from it her brooch
and a sovereign ; but, prisoner added, they had not taken
anything belonging to her (witness). On examining her
workbox, however, Mrs. Turner missed five sovereigns
which she had left in it, and also observed that some tri-
fling things had been taken away. She called in two
detective•officers, who, from some points of the girl's story,
suspected that the entrance of the two men was an inven-
tion, and that she herself was the depredator. On searching
the prisoner's box, a sheet and some towels belonging to
Mrs. Turner were found, and the written character which,
the prisoner had given to :Mrs. Turner, and which the
latter left in the workbox from which the money was
taken, was found'in a pocket of the prisoner's dress. The
prisoner, who was said to he respectably connected, was re-
manded for a week.
