Thomas Woodland was charged with stealing certain moneys, the property of Joseph Allen, on the 1st of August last.

The prisoner was undefended.

Joseph Allen deposed to having lost some six or seven pounds in money, which he had left in a cash box on going out, and which he learnt that prisoner had taken.

A little girl, the daughter of prosecuter, deposed to seeing the prisoner taking away the cash box, towards the water-closet, when she went and told her mother.

Anne Allen, the wife of prosecuter, said the cash box was just behind the bar, when her little daughter came and told her that it had been taken to the water-closet by prisoner. There was about £6 or £7 in the box. She charged prisoner with stealing it, and called some men to help her. There was nothing in the box when she found it in the water-closet. She found a quantity of silver in prisoner's pocket, and knew he had none that morning, as he told her so.

Henry Allen, a little boy, son of the previous witness, deposed that he had taken the enpty box out of the water-closet with two sticks.

The prisoner denied the charge altogether. He boarded in the house, and had he wanted to rob them might have done so many a time.

The witnesses were recalled, and re-examined, but not with any beneficial effect to prisoner.

The jury, after about ten minute's consultation, returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence, two year's imprisonment, with hard labor.
