CAAliGE OF ROBBING AN EMPLOYER, John Griffiths, a blacksmith, in the employ of Mr Stephen Green, ironmonger, High Street, was charged with stealing four knives of the value of X 1, the property of his employer. Mr W. John appeared for the accused: The facts of the case, as deposed to by several wit- nesses, were these :—The accused was in the shop of his master on the afternoon 01 the 27th August, and was sitting near the counter, on which was a drawer con- taining several packages of knives. The accused was observed to take a parcel from the drawer, and put it into his pocket. He was asked to return the parcel, but he denied that he bad taken one. He went out to the yard behind the premises, and was observed to stoop down near a large door opening into the Hill Lane, and to leave this spot striking dirt off his hands. When he retired, a witness went to the place where he had ob served the prisoner stooping down, and found beneath the dirt a parcel of knives that had been placed in the drawer from which he was seen to take a parcel. The accused was subsequently charged with stealing the parcel by his employer, when he replied that he would make any person who said he had stolen the parcel swear it. The accused was dismissed his employ, and an information was laid against him the next morning. On Monday evening, the accused called upon his em- ployer, and admitted that he had taken the parcel, but stated that it was the only thing he had ever stolen from him, and asked to be forgiven. His employer told him that there was a warrant out for his apprehension that it was in the hands of the superintendent of police, and he had no power to stop it. The prisoner denied the charge, and was committed for trial at the next quarter sessions. Mr John, on behalf of the prisoner, applied that the prisoner should be committed to the Assizes, where he would have the benefit of the aid of Counsel, but the Bench, after consideration, refused the application. Bail was accepted for the prisoner's appearance, him- self in the sum of £ 40 and two sureties in the sum of JE20 each.
