WILLIAM NEWMAN. I am a smith. On the 20th of June I lost my watch, between eleven and twelve at night. I was the worse for liquor. I had my watch safe at eleven o'clock. I met the prisoner in Drury-lane; I went with her to her house in Parker's-street . As soon as I went into her room she asked me to give her something to drink. I gave her a three-shilling piece. After she went out I had my watch, and before she returned I fell asleep. The first thing when I awoke I missed my watch. The prisoner was in the room. I charged her with taking my watch; she denied it. The watchman was going by. I called the watchman in. The watchman saw the prisoner pull the watch out of her pocket. He took it from her in my presence. JOHN READING. I am a watchman. The prosecutor asked the prisoner for his watch. She took the watch out of her pocket. I seized her right hand and with difficulty I got the watch from her. JOHN BAXTER. I am the watchhouse-keeper. The prisoner was delivered to my charge for having robbed Newman of his watch. The prisoner pretended that she took it out of a joke. This is the watch. Prosecutor. It is my watch. Prisoner's Defence. The watchman snatched the watch out of my hand. The prosecutor did not wish to hurt me. GUILTY, aged 23. Transported for Seven Years. Second Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Common Serjeant.
