STEALING FROM A CEMETERY.   A WOMAN'S PECULIAR THEFT.
 
At the Lithgow Police Court yesterday, before Mr. W. J. Beard, J.P., Fanny Kendall, a middle-aged woman, was charged with stealing an artificial wreath, of the value of 10s, the property of Albert Sutton, senr., at Bowenfels, on the 13th instant,
Constable Bell deposed : I went to Clout's hotel, Lithgow, on the evoning of the 18th inst., and saw the accused there. I asked her where she came from, and she said she had come from Rydal. I brought her to the police station. I there heard Senior-Sergt. Atkinson say to her that she was charged, on suspicion, with having stolen an artificial wreath from the cemetery at Bowenfels. She said ' I did take it. I took three of   them, I received the wreath produced, with two others, from a Mrs. Dunn, of Bowenfels, on the same day. This morning, at the   lookup, I charged her with stealing one wreath, the property of Albert Sutton, senr. She replied that she had been drinking, and did not know what she was doing. Hannah Dunn, the wife of Robert Dunn, residing at Bowenfels, deposed : I saw the accused on the afternoon of the 18th inst, at my place, when she had three artificial wreaths in her possession. She said a man was going to destroy them, but she asked him for them and he gave them to her. I bought them from her for sixpence. I handed them over to Constable Bell on the same' date. Accused was, at the time, slightly under the influence of liquor. Accused had no questions to ask; and said she - remembered nothing about it, as she was drinking the night before. Thomas Sutton, a boy of nine years, residing with his parents, at Bowenfels, de posed : I saw accused coming past the   cemetery at Bowenfels on the afternoon of the 18th inat, She was then oarrying four wreaths.     Alice Sutton, daughter of Albert Sutton,   senr., Bowenfels, deposed: One of the wreaths produced is the property of my father, and had been placed on my sister's ' grave in the Church of England portion of the cemetery. It was kept in a glass case. ! Tho value. o£ it was 19s. - I The accused elected to be dealt with by the local Bench, and pleaded guilty.   The sergeant said it was a mostoutrageous thing that graves should be disturbed in that way. There were threeother wreaths stolen, but no charge was brought against the accused.     Sentenced to two months in Bathurst Gaol.     An order was made for the restitution of     the wreaths to Mr. Sutton.
