Toe tair Adelaide (tar that was her name) with the skill of a muter, abstracted the lady’s portmounais from her pocket She was suspected, and the lady immediately caused her arrest the testimony w*3 so clear that, notwithsiaudihg ths apparent (nuacentv. and striking- beamy ot the cul prit, the jury was compelled iUd. her guilty Among the spectators m the court room while the trial progressed was seen a tail, motionless looking female, whose countenance was au exact counter part of Dickens’ character of Fagiu This was the mother of Adelaide Irwin, who had, by a course or discipline, suopeeinj in mailing her daughter a most expend ended operator When the jury had piououueed the Ver dict of guilty the fair young thief exhib ited marked sighs of penitence. She wept bitterly, and would not ba'ocmforted; and as a result of this, the sympathy which pervaded the court-room reached the bench, and under a solemn promise of good behavior, Adelaide was bidden to “go *,ud s.u no more ” Boon after she was employed in a store, manifesting much intelligence ana at traoting anatom by her beauty, but yield ing to her old tempter, the Recorder sea teased her to the penitentiary tor two years.
