It appeared that the prisoner was engaged on the day in question at farm work at the above place, at which farm prosecutor was also working. Prisoner had made enquiries and ascertained that prosecutor kept money in his box, which was in his bedroom, and had taken advantage during the day of stealing therefrom two sovereigns out of four sovereigns which were in his box. The box was unlocked. Prisoner disposed of part of the money by purchasing a watch of Elias Williams, a farm labourer, for 10s 6d, and the remainder of the money was accounted for.
