Annie Brice, a domestic servant at the Laurels, Timsbury, whose home is at High Littleton, stated that about 8:30 p.m. on June 18th she went to Captain Scobell's bungalow, at Kingwell. She rode a lady's bicycle, which she left by a gate just outside the bungalow.

Barrett gave evidence of interviewing Hall, who at first denied having any knowledge of the thefts, but eventually admitted having taken the cycle belonging to Ernest Atkins from the side of the at the top of Red Hill, Clutton. She also admitted having ridden this cycle to Kingwell, High Littleton, where, outside Capt. Scobell's bungalow, she saw the other cycle, and changed the one she was riding for it, and also changed the lamp over to the other bicycle.
Acting on information supplied to him by the defendant, witness said he went to a field at Clutton, where he found a lady's cycle and the lamp. This cycle was identified by Miss Brice, and the other cycle, which had been left by the defendant outside the bungalow at Kingwell, had been identified by Atkins.

The Bench thereupon decided to place Hall on probation for two years, in her own recognisances in the sum of £5, the Chairman remarking that, in view Hall’s past record, she would be taken charge of by the officials of the Salvation Army Home in Bristol for 12 months, to be, followed by another 12 months' supervision.
