Charge of Stealing a Spoon: John Frost was charged with stealing a spoon, the property of Thomas Graves, carpenter of Uffculme. Elizabeth Graves, the wife, said that she missed a spoon on the I8th of April, and having seen one which she considered to be hers in the defendant’s house, she sent for it, but did not obtain it. She was sure the one produced, which was found in the prisoner’s house by P.C. Pinsent, was hers; but there was no private mark on it, and she could only tell from the general appearance. The families lived in adjoining houses, and frequently visited one another. The Bench considered the evidence was not sufficiently strong to send the case for trial and dismissed the defendant with caution.
