Chelmsford Petty Session, Dec. 8. Magistrates present—Captain Skinner, in the chair; J. J Tufnell, J. Boggis, and J. F. Fortescue, labourer, named Edward Maskell, was charged with stealing a fustian coat, the property of William Laurence beer-shop keeper, at Fryerning. It was stated that on the previous Saturday evening the prisoner represented to Laurence that had no money, and begged to be allowed to lodge with two recruits who were billeted at the house; permission was given, and he went to bed at the same time the recruits. About five o'clock the next morning, however, he was missed from the bed-room, and it was shortly afterwards discovered that he that he had decamped from the window, which was then open, taking with him Laurence's coat, which was hanging on the door of the room in which prisoner slept. Evidence was given to prove that about nine o'clock on Sunday morning he disposed of the coat to Mrs. Rowlett, whose husband is a marine store dealer at Romford, for 5s. and the same was on Monday morning pledged by her at the shop of Mr. Fletcher. Prisoner was apprehended upon the charge at Romford by Superintendent Coulson, to whom he stated that he did not steal the coat.
