JOSEPH PALLET. I am a painter and glazier,and work with Mr Gifford,of Brook street,Holborn.On the 5th of February I met Calvert in Farringdo Street,between nine and ten o'clock in the evening-I went home with her-I saw Hide in the front parlour as soon as I went into the house-I had one sovereign,5 shillings,and one half-crown-I put the money in my purse,and put it into my right hand trowsers pocket-I then laid down on the bed-Calvert got up and went to the door,and I saw her pass something to a person outside the door-I think it was a man-I saw the hand perfectly,and something passed -the hand was dirty-I then put my hand into my pocket,and found my purse open,and only one half-crown remaining - one sovereign and five shillings were gone) -Hide did not come into the room between the time my money was safe and my losing it- I immediately taxed Calvert with taking it-she denied it-Hide came in directly after I missed my money) -I kept her and Calvert in the place-the policeman came in about ten minutes,and I gave Calvert in charge. Cross-Examined by MR DOANE Q.After Hide went out of the room you displayed all the money you had. A.No,I looked at it privately-I took my purse out of my pocket,but not while Hide was in the room-I have no doubt she passed it to a man-I had paid Calvert a half a crown-she said the room was her own-when the half-crown was given there was one sovereign,five shillings and half-crown left.
