Convict Notes
Cheltenham,Feb. 7. -At our Police Office, Elizabeth Holder was charged by George Burford, of Bishop's Cleeve, with having, on the night of Monday last, feloniously taken £15 from his pocket. This she effected by cutting his breeches pocket with as much dexterity as ever was practised by the most ingenious even of London pickpockets. This may easily be imagined, when we state as a fact, that at the moment when she made the incision the complainant's hand was actually in that pocket-and yet he felt no knife, nor did he miss his money until a few minutes after she ran away, and was instantaneously out of sight. She also stole a pocket-book from his coat pocket. Under the direction of Mr. Sadler, she was traced to Gloucester, where she was found in company with a soldier of the 4th Regt., taken into custody, and brought back to Cheltenham. Eight notes of the bank of Messrs. Pitt, Gardner, and Co. were found upon her person. She was fully committed for trial at the Assizes.
