Witness left the room to ascertain the time, leaving the door open; and when he went back he saw the prisoner, with one foot on the form, in the act of taking the bottle off the shelf; prisoner put it into his pocket. Neal took the bottle from prisoner’s pocket, and put it on the shelf. Witness then went to look for Mr. Marshall. — One month’s hard labour.
