Robert Stoodlin. a lad about 16 years of age. was in-
dicted for counselling and advising Tlnsinas Finn, a boy
of 12 years of age, to steal certain monies,' the property
of -- Cody, amounting to the sum of 441.
Cody's wife, who was the mother of the boy Finn,
stated that she and her husband kept a fruit-stall, :And
had saved 441, which they kept in a box in their 1i0n...,
in which their son, Thomas Finn, lived with them. The
prisoner, who worked with a wood-cotter, was in the
habit of coming to her son as an acquaintance, and sh..,
not liking him, had canti .ned her sun against him. O:i
the day charged in the indictment, she went out as usual
to herhusiness, leaving the money in her box, and h-r
sun in care of the house. On her return in the eveni•!l.
she found the box had been broken open awl the non-y
taken out, and her son gore.
Thomas Finn deputed, that the prisoner had often
wanted him to steal his father and mother's money, and
go into the cuontry with him; at last he broke open
the box in which the money was kept and gave it all t,i
the prisoner. They immediately set off for Ch attain,
%%here they remained nine days, sleeping every night in
the Barrack.. . the prisoner being acqutinted with sal-
diem there. the
prisoner took new clothes foe them
both, and a pair of pistols for himself. At the and of
nine days the prisoner said the money was altnast spent,
and they returned to town, and were soon after taken
into custody.
The prisoner merely slid in his defence, that MITI
gavel lie stoney, and spent it as well as 1 • self. '
The Jury instantly found the prisoner (kitty, and he
was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour in• the
House of Correction.
