From the Folkestone Chronicle 2 October 1858.
Tuesday September 28th:- Before Gilbert Jennicott esq., and W Major esq.
Mary Ann Hall was brought up on remand, and Daniel Livingstone, a
private in the 100th Regiment, charged with stealing a Portemonnai,
containing a gold Albert chain, and several articles of jewellery, value
£9, the property of Corporal Salter, of the 100th Regiment.
It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor Salter, had been
invalided to the hospital at the Camp, Shorncliffe, and left the above
property in his knapsack in charge of Corporal Browning – That a short
time after, he was also invalided to the hospital, and during his
absence his hut had been entered, and the property abstracted from his
knapsack.
A few weeks ago, the prisoner Hall, and another female, Louisa Bowlden,
were in the "Alma" public house, Sandgate, when the prisoner Livingstone
came in, and calling Hall out, gave her the purse, &c., saying “take
care of this, and if it is claimed, you must deliver it up”. Hall took
it, and next day sold it to Mrs. Hills, landlady of the "Bellevue Tavern",
Folkestone, for £2.
The prisoner Livingstone said he went into the room and called for a
pint of beer – and shortly after, on getting up to go away, in stooping
to pick up his stick, he found the purse, &c., under the table. He
delivered it up to Hall (believing she was a waitress in the house) and
told her to take it to her master, or take charge of it until it was
claimed. Both prisoners were committed for trial at St. Augustine's,
Canterbury.

Second Court: Before E.H.K. Hugesen esq., M.P.
Daniel Livingstone, a private in the 100th Regiment was charged with
stealing a gold chain, pocket and other articles, belonging to a
comrade, and Mary Ann Hall was charged with receiving the same,
knowing them to have been stolen.
Thomas Salter, a Corporal in the 100th Regiment, deposed to having
lost his property while he was ill in the hospital. He left it in
charge of Corporal Browning. The value of it was £9.
Alfred Browning said that the last witness had left the property in
his possession. He put the things in his knapsack. When he was taken
into hospital he left his knapsack on the shelf, and on coming out
again he missed his knapsack, but afterwards found it in its place.
The property of the last witness, however, was gone.
By the prisoner: Our knapsacks are not now taken in with us when we
go to the hospital but they were at the time I went in.
Mary Hills, of the "Bellevue Tavern," Folkestone, purchased the
property for £2, not knowing that it was stolen.
Louisa Bowling was with the prisoner Livingstone in the "Alma" beer
shop at Sandgate, when he called the woman Hall out and said “Take
these things, and if they are cried give them up.”
Thomas Newman took prisoner into custody, who said he found the
articles and gave them to the woman Hall, believing her to be the
servant in the public house, where he found the goods, that she
might return them to the owner if inquired for.
The prisoners had nothing to say in their defence; and the Chairman
having summed up the jury acquitted both the prisoners.
