N., and Elizabeth his wife and others.
On the 3d of May, Maunder hired Appleby Homo,
is the Isle of Wight, representing himself to John Sis,
meon, Esq., the proprietor, to be a man of fortnne,
which he bad realised from a long and successful
coarse of business as a seedsman and florist : that the
two females were his daughters, and that he had a
sea and a son-in-law at sea, whose return home he
daily espeeted, and that he was induced to fix upon
such a residence as Apieby House presented. with a
view to their future comfort and respectability. Hr

the use of the plate and linen, of which a large gnats-
tity was delivered into his possession about a week
after be had possession of the house. In a day or two
afterwards a quantity of the plate anti linen was
pledged at Portiere and Portsmouth. These chain
steam were proved on the trial, and, moreover, that

port; the prisoners were defended by H. W. Missing.
Esq., and Mr. Blythe, who contended, on a point of
law, that the two daughters must be discharged, as
they were not with their father at the time of taking
the house at Appleby ; and that if a felony bad been
committed, it was by the father alone.
Mr. Haans contended that they were all alike
guilty, as they were proved to have been together in
London ; had followed each other to Portsmouth, and
went together to the Isle of Wight, and, consequently,
they were portieirs crisniNis.
The ',weed Ksconusa, in summing up, said. that
the law, as it regarded the female prisoners, was as
laid down by the Counsel, Mr. Missing; bed be would
leave the case to the Jury, who, after nearly an hour's
consultation, returned a verdict of Unilty.
Maunder was thereupon sentenced to seven years'
transportation, and Sarah and Frances Meander to
twelve months' imprisonment each.
There were two other indictments for conspiracy
'against the prisoners, had they been acquitted, for
fraudulently contriving together to get property into
their possession ; and for obtaining a quantity of
goods from various tradesmen in the Isle of Wight.
