EAST KENT SESSION.

George White, 30, convicted of having, on the 5th of April stolen a cloth, two pieces of meat, and a piece of liver the property of Robert Bean, at Ashford.

G. Barns deposed of having seen the prisoner go out of the "Fountain" public-house, Ashford, with the articles stolen.

A Constable of Ashford said, he went to the "Saracens Head Tap," and was told by the landlady that prisoner was a "good-for-nothing fellow," and had brought the articles there, but did not say whether for sale or not.

Prisoner, in defence, said he was requested by a man unknown to him, to take the goods to the "Saracens Head Tap," which he did, but found no owner.

Two weeks' hard labour, and once whipped.
