Petty Sessions, Monday. (Before Oswald Smith, Esq., chairman,. R. S. Paterson and Western Wood, Esqrs.)

William Edgington, a bricklayer employed on the St. Mary Cray, was charged on suspicion of having broken a box in a bed-room at the "Auction" public-house at St. Paul's Cray, and stealing therefrom £3, the property of Samuel Brooks. It appeared that the parties were fellow lodgers and slept in the same room and the prosecutor having had the money stolen from his box, suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who was given custody. The evidence, however, being insufficient, he was dismissed.
