It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had gone into the house of the prosecutor, and having called for some liquor drank it and departed. The shawl which lay on a shelf in the tap-room, was missed immediately, when the wife of the prosecutor followed, and after some scuffling in which she was knocked down, took the shawl from the prisoner's bosom, when the prisoner went away; information was subsequently given to a constable who followed the prisoner and took him into custody. Mr. Rowe, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that the property had not been identified by the prosecutor, as he had declined swearing positively to it. The case was submitted to the jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty; and the Court sentenced the prisoner to nine months hard labour in an iron gang. The Currency Lad, 2 Mar 1833.
