On Tuesday evening at the hour of Eleven they were met in Pit [sic] Street, by constable TOMKINS, and taken into custody. In their possession three bundles were found, which upon being searched, proved to contain a variety of property which had been stolen from the shop, to which MACK had access, for the purpose of cleaning and putting up the shutters &c. Miss REYNOLDS stated that the night before they absconded, property had been given to them valued at £6. They were each found Guilty, and sentenced to be confined in the factory for twelve months, to be added to their sentences from home.
