318. GEORGE SAUL (18) , Burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of George Jaques, and stealing 2l. 10l., his money.
MR. GRIFFITHS conducted the Prosecution.
GEORGE JAQUES . I am a china and glass dealer, of 19, Skinner Street, Somers Town— the prisoner has done odd jobs for me, and knew that I kept my money in a small tin box in a cupboard in my bedroom— on Sunday night, 27th February, the prisoner came up to mo at the corner of Seymour Street, Euston Road, and asked me if I was satisfied that he had not stolen the gas-fittings which had been taken out of the shop, and asked me to let him have a pennyworth of tobacco— I said, "If you want tobacco you had better pay for it"— he said that he had no money— about two hours afterwards I went home, and found my cupboard open, and my money gone— someone had climbed up the shutters, got on the fascia, and gone in at the window— the window was shut at 11 o'clock, and my money, five half-soveeigns, was safe.
THOMAS MANSTLL . I live in Dean's Place, and know the prisoner— we were drinking together at a public-house on Sunday night, 27th February, about 9 o'clock, and got out of temper with each other— he pulled two and a-half sovereigns and a florin out of his pocket, and put them on the counter— Miss Moore took them up, and told him to put them into his pocket again.
SARAH JIGGINS . I have been keeping company with the prisoner— on Sunday night, 27th February, he gave me a half-sovereign, and asked me to get his coat out of pawn— we had a little dispute about it, and I gave it back to him— I saw him put a half-sovereign on the counter.
CHARLOTTE MAW . I live at the Somers Arms, Ossulston Street, Somers Town— on Sunday night, 27th February, between 8 and 9 o'clock, I saw two half-sovereigns and some silver in his possession— he put them on the counter, and I picked them up, and told him to put them in his pocket.
CATHERINE JAQUES . I am the prosecutor's daughter— on the night of 26th of February I was left in charge of the house— I went to sleep, and woke up and went to bed about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning— when I went into the bedroom I saw the window open, and marks as if two knees had been on the sill, trying to get in at the window, which was shut before; it is never open— I went to my father's bedroom, and saw his cupboard open— I told my father when he came home.
RICHARD SHERWOOD (Detective Officer Y). On Wednesday I tapped the prisoner on the shoulder, within fifteen yards of where he lived, and said "I want to speak to you"— he said "All right"— I said "I suppose you know what it is for?"— he said "Well, I have heard something about it; it is Jaques' affair, is if not?"— I said "Yes"— he said "I know nothing about it"— I said "How do you account for the money you had in the public-house on Sunday?"— he said "I never had any money"— I took him to the prosecutor, and he was locked up.
Prisoner's Defence. I did not get into his place. I did not know where he kept his money, and did not have the money. I am innocent.
GUILTY - Twelve Months' Imprisonment.
