The prisoner had been lodging at the Currier's Arms for some weeks past, and on Sunday afternoon, Mrs Woodhouse found that the articles were missing. Information was given to the police and soon after duplicates of the articles were found lying on the prisoner's dressing table. Most of the articles were discovered at Mr Knight's pawnbrokers where they had been pledged by the prisoner and were identified by Mrs Woodhouse.
