Jane Devlin (a good-looking girl), for stealing at Newtownards, on the 25th June last, a pair of trowsers and a shawl, the property of Thomas Robinson.

Thos. Robinson examined.-- Lost the articles mentioned in the indictment from a bed-room in his house, on the morning of 25th June; saw the trowsers the same day in the possession of the police. The prisoner and three men came into his house that morning, and had some spirits to drink at the bar. They remained about ten minutes. Never saw the prisoner before. Thinks she is a stranger to Newtownards. The room from which the trowsers and shawl were stolen was close to the bar. Missed the articles immediately after the prisoner and the three men left.

Jane Drysdale, servant to last witness examined.-- Found the prisoner and a man in a house in Frederick Street, Newtownards, the day on which the trowsers were stolen. Saw the trowsers under her arm and shawl round her neck, and took them from her.

Constable Flinn proved arresting the prisoner. She is a stranger in Newtownards. Produces the articles stolen, which were brought to the Magistrates' Court in Newtownards.

The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months -- a favour which she acknowledged on leaving the dock, by thanking his Lordship and the jury.
