She told them they would get it in the next room, and all went eut- The prisoner McAtee re- turned to the dining room about 4.30, and again said he wantedadrink. He was told he could get nonethere, and he left. About five o’clock the girl left the kitchen and dining room and went up stairs. {it | was during her absence thr. the silverware was stolen. Sergeant McGregor testilied to arresting and searching the prisoner

Carroll, and finding on _ his person the two spoons identified by Mr. Crabb. He said Cnarroll could not account

for haying them on his person. The pris- oner denied that he committed the robbery. He could not account for having part of the stolen goods in his pocket, other than he said they might have been put in by some person while he had his coat off during an altercation which took place on the day of the robbery, in the bar-room of the ‘“Parmers’ Aris.” The City Marshall said the prisoner gave the same account to him on the evening he was arrested. There being no evidence against McAtee, both prisoners were discharged.

from his sleig!1, while standing in front of Mr. J. Scotts, Kent street. Mr. Albert Leve, who was passing Queen street about six o'clock on the evening of the robbery, testified to secing a fellow running out of Mr. Robert Crabb’s gangway and into Mrs. Offer’s yard, carrying with him a wolf robe. Thinking the robe was stolen, he informed Mr. Crabb of the fact and Mr. Crabb, in company with Mr. John Davis, went into Mrs. Offer’s yard and found the robe hanging on the side of a manure bin. Mr. Crabb saw it was not his robe, and was about leaving when the prisoner rose out of the bin and walked towards the street. Mr. Davis ordered him to pick up the buf

falo and leave it where he got it. The person did as requested, and cazried.it into Mr. Crabb’s yard, where it was left till the owner was found. Mr. Crabb swore that

the person was stupidly drunk when he came out of the bin, and had been drinking all the evening. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he had no recollection of seeing the robe ; that he had been drinking on the day of the robbery. The Magistrate said, in the eye of the law drunkenness was no excuse for crime. He therefore sen- tenced the prisoner to one month’s impris- onment with hard laber.
