Lloyd, die mother of the prisoner, who was conmdersibly affected, explained to the bench that her daughter's mind had been upset in consequence of a persistent demand which had hers made upon her for money.

When witness (Mr. Lloyd) knew of this she persuaded her - daughter to leave the watch and chain with her.
