At Huntingdon assizes, a girl, not 13 years of age, was tried for robbing her father, an innkeeper in that county, of 15 guineas; and being convicted, she was branded, and ordered to be imprisoned for six months.
At the same time a mother and daughter, governesses to a school at which the above child was scholar, were tried for receiving the above money from her, well knowing it was stolen, and were found guilty, and sentenced, the former to be imprisoned for a term of five years, and the daughter for three years.
