1153. JANE MILBURN was indicted for stealing 1 spoon, value 5s., the goods of Augustus Ironmonger, her master.
AUGUSTUS IRONMONGER . I live at Hornsey. I employed the prisoner as charwoman—I missed a spoon—this is it.
JAMES COOK . I am a pawnbroker. The prisoner brought this spoon to my house—it being broken, and having a crest on it, I gave her into custody.
WILLIAM WEBB . I have known the prisoner twenty-three or twenty-four years—she is not fit to go to service—she is not insane, but is so affected with sick headache, that at times she is not capable of knowing right from wrong.
NOT GUILTY .*
