At noon on the day in question the corn- plainant saw the money deposited in the safs and at about 3 p.m. the same day, haring occasion to again go the safe, kẹ found the money missing. Information was given to the police and the prisoner was arrested about 6 p.m. on the premises, the money being found between some boards above the prisoner's bed, The money being found where it was naturally led to the supposition that it had been stolen by the prisoner or that he had received it from someone by whom it had been extracted from the safe, and the onus of
proof was thrown upon the prisoner to account as to how he came by it, and if he could not give a satisfactory account, the jury would be Justified in finding the prisoner guilty of stealing It

After speaking with his friend for half-an-hour he returned to the rule when he found the money had disappeared. No other person was present but his friend and himself. A partition separated the accountant's room from the shop, and after missing the money witness saw a plank had been removed from the bottom part of the partition, which made an aperture. large enough to admit a person getting through
By his Lordship--The prisoner slept alone in the room where the money was found. He could not say if any other person had access to the room,
