I am a pelisse and straw bonnet-maker                  , and live in St. Martin's-court                                                      , St. Martin's in the Fields. On the 24th of October I lost this 20 l. note from a bundle of notes, containing 400 l., which I put at night between two mattresses where I slept. In the morning I went down leaving them there about seven o'clock, and about eight I missed this 20 l. note. The prisoner was my servant                   - I did not mean her to know they were there. I do not recollect whether the bed was made. The note was marked by me on the back,</p>               <p>"Lady Moller, Clarges-street" - I have since seen it at Bow-street - (produced) - this is the note. The prisoner lived three months with me - I had a character with her.</p>               <p>                                                GEORGE                   DYER                                                                                       . I am a clerk in the Bank. The note was paid in on the 25th of October by Messrs. Glynns, the banker's; I produced it at Bow-street.</p>               <p>                                                EDWARD                   UNWIN                                                                                       . I am servant to Mr. Newton, of Leicester-square. I took - (I think it was on the 21st of October, but am sure it was on a Saturday) - this note of the prisoner. I did not mark it, but changed the note she paid me with Mr. South. She said she had no smaller note, but it was a good one, and it had just come from St. Martin's-court. She gave me an address in Earl-street, which I found was her mother's.</p>               <p>                                                JAMES                   APPLEBY                                                                                        re-examined. I missed it on Tuesday, the 24th of October, it had been there ever since Friday. I do not know when it was taken.</p>               <p>                                                JOSEPH                   SOUTH                                                                                       . On the 21st of October I received the note from Unwin. I marked it</p>               <p>"Newton, 21st October."</p>               <p>                                                HENRY                   GBOVE                                                                                       . I am an officer. I found 15 l. at her mother's, secreted in the wall.</p>               <p>The prisoner made no defence.</p>               <p>                                                                           GUILTY            . -                                                          DEATH            . Aged 16.</p>               <p>Recommended to Mercy.</p>               <p>First Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Justice Bailey.</p>            </div>
