of the State rs Mrs. Shirley, charged with

Defendant, through her counsel, General
Bate, required a full investigation, and
upon proof, it was clearly manifest that no
wrong had been committed by Mrs. Shirley.
The man Rains, who plead guilty Of the
theft Of stealing the coffee, etc, from
Hurley, swore that he was indebted TO
Mrs. Shirley ten or fifteen dollars, and took
to her house about thirty pounds Of the
stolen coffee in part payment thereof, but
that she supposed he had brought it from
Cincinnati, and knew nothing of the source
or manner of his getting it; that he was
steward on a steamboat, and in the habit
of trading in that neighborhood of the
city. When the police went for the coffee,
Mrs. S. gave it TO him without hesitation,
and hunted up the sack in which it came
1t vas nothing more than what might hay
been innocently done by any one. Many
Of our best citizens gave testimony to her
excellent character, and the court, a: the
close of the case, acquitted her, remarking
that she was not only acquitted, but
vindicated.
