prosecutor  agreed  to  let  him  have  board  and  lodgings  at

his  house  for  a  week  for  14*.     The  prisoner  then  said  he

was  short  of  cash,  and  asked  the  prosecutor  to  lend  him  6rf.

prosecutor's,  and  it  was  then  discovered  that  he  was  not  a

member  of  the  naval  reserve,  nor  entitled  to  receive  any

pay  as  such,  and  that  he  had  no  means  of  paying  for  his

board  and  lodgings.
