Elizabeth Russell, a young woman, was brought up on the charge of robbing her master, Mr. Thomas Austin Stack, of the "Yacht Tavern."

Prosecutors said that prisoner entered his service a few days ago, and on the previous evening prisoner said that she had seen a man pass the skylight, and she was going to be robbed. Prosecutor searched but could see no one. This morning prisoner came up and said that the house had been robbed, and prosecutor than found that the till had been emptied, and the contents of a cash box carried away. The cupboard in which cash box was placed have been unlocked by means of a false key. The amount stolen was £6 19s. They afterwards found the prisoners bed and not been slept in during the night.
