The Magistrate, Mr. Hunt: This is the man who has been living with a girl and used to go out at night robbing larders. Accused said he did not rob larders.
The Magistrate: Well, you had a number of provisions in your home which you were not able to account for. You are about twice as old as the girl. Mr. Dickson, who appeared for accused, said the girl was placed in rather an unfortunate position She had been living with accused for some considerable time but, owing to the fact that her mother was missing, she could not marry.
