He was convicted and sentenced to one month’s imprison men t. In giving evidence, V ella said he was perfectly sure that the note which defendant threw on the floor when witness made his. appearance was taken from the till, as it was a custom of his to keep only one pound in the till. He had been caught once before by leaving too much cash in the till, and was not going to be a loser again.
