MONDAY.- Sarah Duggan and Eliza Seaton, prisoners of the Crown, for life, in private service, were placed in the dock charged with stealing a piece of cambric, value fifty-eight shillings, the properly of Mr. Isaac Simmons, of George-street. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Simmons and the shopman, that the two Convicts came into Mr. Simmon's shop on Saturday last, and enquired for some particular print. The print was handed from the bottom shelves, and some from the top, but pretending that noticof them suited, they were about leaving the shop, when something was heard to fall on the floor. The shopman went round to see what had fallen, when he discovered a piece of cambric containing about fifty-eight yards, on the ground near the women, and which had been lying on the counter with some other goods. The women were accused of stealing it, which they denied ; a constable was sent for, and they were given into custody. Mrs. Simmons stated that there was no doubt the prisoners had stolen the cambric while she was reaching the print from a top shelf; their dishonest object being still more evident, from the fact that some of the same print which they had pretended to require from an inconvenient part of the shop, was actually exposed at the door, and which they must have seen when they entered.-Committed to take their trial for the offence.
