In about an hour after she returned and saw the prisoner, and told him she could not keep the cloth, as she had not bid for it. He told her he could not give the money back, but if she carae the following week he would exchange it. The next day the place was closed. . . . The counsel for the prisoner objected that the facts did not prove a larceny. Th...e jury were directed that if the prisoner had the intention to deprive Jane Powell of her money, and in order to obtain it was guilty of a trick and artifice, by fraudulently asserting that she had made a bid, when she had not, as he well knew, and that he obtained the money by such means, he was guilty of the offence charged. The jury found that no bid had been made by Jane Powell, which the prisoner knew, and that he obtained the money from her by the trick and artifice mentioned above. A verdict of guilty was taken.
