Robbbery.— Charles Hollingshead and Mary Hollingshead were on Tuesday charged with having stolen the sum of £16 (one £10 note and six £1 notes) from Elizabeth O’Laughlin, residing in Kent- street. The complainant, on Saturday last, having stated her loss to Inspector Singleton, and named the accused as the parties whom she suspected, that officer immediately proceeded to their residence; on his way he encountered the male prisoner in Druitt-street; the lnspector accosted him, and inquired where he had been; the prisoner replied that he had been pawning a pair of shoes in Mr. Benson’s office, in Druitt-street. The Inspector made no further enquiries, but soon after repaired to the pawn-office, where he asked to be shown the shoes that a person had just pawned there. He (the Inspector) examined the shoes in the presence of the pawnbroker, and beneath the lining of one of the shoes he discovered a £10 note and three £1 notes (notes produced); he then returned to the house of the prisoners’ and arrested them. The prosecutrix identified the £10 note as the one that had been stolen from her; she had no hesitation in doing so, as she had a private mark on it, by which she easily recognised it. Mr. Benson deposed that the male prisoner was the person who had pawned the shoes produced with him in the fictitious name of Jones. The accused, who made no defence, were committed to take their trial at the next Quarter Sessions. The People’s Advocate, 17 Dec 1853.
