DISGUSTING CASE.

Elizabeth Howell, a young woman very near her confinement, was charged by John Pitt with stealing a watch, from his person, on Wednesday evening the 23rd ult., at Trosnant. Complainant said he was going home from Pontypool between eight and nine o'clock, and met the prisoner, who took him to her lodgings. After he left, he missed his watch; he returned and gave information to the police, and also charged the prisoner with stealing his watch, but she denied it. -Mary Jones, widow, living in Tudor-street, Abergavenny deposed to prisoner lodging in her house for three nights, for which she owed her 6d and 3d for goods. Prisoner gave her the watch now produced, and asked her to sell it for her, and she would pay her out of the proceeds. Witness offered the watch for sale to Wm. Maloney.- Wm. Maloney said that he took the watch to Mr. Isaacs, pawnbroker, to ascertain its value, and Mr. Henry Harris, shopman, told him that it was stolen, information of the robbery and number of the watch having been given them.-Henry Harris corroborated this statement.—The prisoner was committed for trial, but in consequence of her being so near her confinement, she was sent to the workhouse until she should be able to be removed.
