  The Burrangong Argus Saturday 8 April 1865 TUESDAY, April 4th. (Before the Police Magistrate.) ANNIE LEE. alias "Scotch Mag," charged with stealing a dress. Mary Ann Greig said: She lost a dress on Friday night week. She put the dress on the clothes-line close to the house about sundown, and missed it about eight o'clock. On Sunday last she saw the dress on one of Mrs. Richardson's daughters as she was coming from church. She followed her home, and the girl said it had been given to her, but at once gave it up to complainant. The dress was in her custody, and had been given her to wash. She was responsible for it, and would have had to pay for it if it was lost. Ellen Richardson said : She knew the dress in Court. It had been given to her by the defendant on Thursday last. Defendant came to her and said, " Ellen, here is a dress for you, take it home, and if it will not fit you, alter it." She was washing dirt at, the ' time, and her father and sister were present. Defendant laid the dress down, and she thanked her for it. She had often promised to give her sister and herself a dress for going errands for her. The dress was claimed by Mrs. Greig on Sunday evening. Her father and sister were coining towards her with wash-dirt when defendant gave her the dress. Father asked her what the woman had given her, and she showed him the dress. Father did not hear what passed between defendant and herself. Henry Richardson said : He was father of the last witness. On Thursday last he saw defendant go to the cradle where his daughter Ellen was washing. She had a bundle, which she put down and had some short conversation with his daughter, but he did not know what was said. She went away before he came up. He asked his daughter what the woman had given her, and she said "a frock she had promised sometime ago." His wife took in washing. His other daughter was taking wash-dirt from him to Ellen, who was cradling. Last Sunday he went with his wife and daughter Ellen to defendant's house. His daughter said " I have come to thank you for the dress you gave me. It fits me very well." Defendant replied she was glad it did. He then said the dress had been claimed on his daughter, and defendant then denied that " she ever gave his child a dress.
