RECEIVING CHARGE
WOMAN FOUND GUILTY
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, October 24.
The sensational robbery of jewellery from the Karangahape Eoad shop of James Pascoe, Limited, on September 20, was recalled by the prosecution in the Supreme Court today of Hilda Jackson, a domestic, aged 33.
The accused was charged with receiving a quantity of jewellery valued at £1378, knowing it to have been dishonestly obtained. Detective-Sergeant Mcllugh described breaking into a room at the accused's boarding-house. When asked whore she got the jewellery from, the accused answered, "That is for you to find out." When about to be searched, the accused took a gold chain from the toe of her shoe and handed it to witness. Other articles of jewellery were found in a linen-press and behind the wallboards.
Mr. Justice Herdman said that the extreme simplicity of the issue made the jury's task comparatively easy. The jury found the accused guilty and she was remanded for sentence.
