An "Indinn Giycr."

A London drcssmaker recently had
her lover arrested for taking from her
certain presents which he had made to
her. She stated in court that she had
heen engaged TO tho prisoner for several
months, and on the previous Saturday
evening had met him by appointment.
He took her into II jewelers. shop, say
ing he would buy her a chain, and Sc
lected one for CO 10 shilIngs. lie asked
her To see how il would look on her
watch, and She detached the latter from
her own chain, and he tried it on the
new one. lie afterward put the watch
III his pocket, and the chain on the
counter. Then he asked to see some
wedding rings, and nj his request she
took a gold keeper from her finger and
tried on three or four wedding ring, one
Of which fitted her. Remarking that il
looked very nice on her finger, he put
the keeper in his pocket and purchased
pin for himself for shillings and 6
pence, saying That that would satisfy the
jewelcr for his trouble The dress
maker asked the prisoner for the watch
and keeper, but he refused to give them
to her, remarking that they were his
property, and taking her into the jew
eler's as he had done was the only
means he had Of getting them. She
gave him into custody. She did not
know whether she could call herself
engaged to the prisoner still. He had
given her the watch and the ring, but
had never asked foi them back. She
had little quarrel with him a month
previously, but that was made up. The
magistrate observed that ho did not
think any jury would convict the pris-
oner Of stealing the things, and there.
fore the man must be discharged. The
dressmaKer left the court, remarking
that it was disgraceful thing. --Ne,0
