The Attorney-General stated that on 6th July Mr. Thiel missed a nickel watch and gold chain from his bedroom.

It would be proved that the prisoner was on duty near their rooms until half-past fire o'clock that morning. Later the same morning the prisoner pawned the ring, the studs and the links, also under a false name. The defence put forward before the Magistrate was that a servant boy had sold the watch and chain to the prisoner and that be Lind pawned the studs and ring for the same boy from whom he got them.
