James Anderson, a private in the Antim Artillery Militia, for stealing 11s. 2d., the property of Maria Sheaf, an "unfortunate" woman whom he had accompanied to the "British Flag" beer-house, Sandgate. Mr. Hance was for the prosecution.

The jury acquitted the prisoner, who applied that the money in his possession when apprehended should be given up to him; but Mr. James refused to make an order to that effect, as he had a strong suspicion that the money belonged to the prosecutrix.
