Receiving Stolen Property.

Benjamin Stuchbury, landlord of the "New Star" beerhouse, Coxheath, was charged with receiving a quantity of hay knowing it to have been stolen, the property of Mr. Mannering, farmer, of Staplehurst. It appeared that the prosecutor's waggoner, a man named Payne, had been sent to Maidstone several times lately to fetch lime. On each occasion he had received a quantity of hay to give to his master's horses on the journey, instead of which he had exchanged it for beer to the prisoner. In consequence of information received by Mr. Mannering, that gentleman sent his bailiff to prisoner’s house, who there found about six trusses of hay, his master’s property. Payne has since absconded. His mate, a man named Simmonds, had been apprehended, but was admitted as a witness. The prisoner was committed for trial.
