Mrs Dorothy Jay, a London actress, was dining with her husband in a AVest End restaurant recently, when she noticed a young woman sitting at the next table wearing one of her dresses. She spoke to her and received the reply that the dress was bought from a Taunton woman. Mr Jay informed the police, and the woman and her companion were arrested. As a result, Florence Hudson, aged 23, waitress, and Peggy O'Gara, aged 21, shop assistant, both of Stephen Street, Tottenham Court Road, were charged with being concerned in stealing and receiving the dress, value £4 4s. Hudson pleaded guilty and O'Gara not guilty. Mrs Jay said it was O'Gara who was wearing the dress. She added that Hudson was employed as her maid in September when'she lost the dress. Hudson said she lent O'Gara the dross on Friday; she did not tell her it was stolen. O'Gara was discharged, and Hudson was bound over under the Probation Act for three years.
