An Impudent Theft at a Railway Station
Caroline Beaton, a girl from Havant, was charged with stealing a parasol, of the value of 11s, the property of Mary Saunders, a servant at Yelf's Hotel, Ryde.-The prosecutrix said she was at the Shanklin Railway Station at about 3 p.m. on the previous day, and in the ladies' waiting-room she placed together a parcel and a parasol; she left the room for a minute, and on her return missed the parasol. The prisoner was in the room when the parasol was placed there. Prosecutrix went out and found the prisoner standing by the carriage-stand, and accused her of the robbery; she denied it. Prosecutrix then pulled aside prisoner's shawl, and took away from under her arm the missing parasol. When scolded by prosecutrix for her dishonesty, she replied, "You may think yourself well off that you have got it back again." They proceeded to Shanklin, and there the prisoner was given into custody.-Prisoner, who pleaded guilty and did not appear at all dismayed, was committed to hard labour for a month."

Charge of Theft. - Eli Beaton was charged with
stealing three fowls, values 10s., the property of Mr.
Simmonds, of Farlington, on Tuesday night, and Caroline

- Only sufficient evidence was taken to justify a remand.

were stolen marks correspoinding to the man's footprints
were found ; and at Mrs. Wells's house, where Beaton
was lodging, the police discovered the remains of some
fowls. - Beaton was remanded for 14 days in custody ; the

Fowl Stealing at Farlington. - Caroline
Wells was charged with receiving five fowls, the
property of Roger Albert Simonds, at Farlington,
on November 30th. - Mr. Bullen prosecuted. - This
was a case from the last sessions, when prisoner, who
was on bail, failed to appear. Since then she has
been arrested on a bench warrant. Eli Beaton, her
brother, who lodged with her, was convicted at the
sessions of the theft of the folws, which were
missed from prosecutor's hen-house and their remains
foudn, ready cooked, at prisoner's, and many
feathers in Beaton's pockets. Prisoner denied any
knowledge of the fowls, but a search of the premises
and her subsequent admission contradicted this
assertion. She and her brother stated that he
brought the fowls home ready cooked. Prisoner
denied all guilty knowledge. - She was found
guilty, but strongly recommended to mercy as
she was under the influence of her brother, and was
sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment.
