The Argus (Melbourne, Vic.) Friday 2 August 1878, p 6
MELBOURNE GENERAL SESSIONS. THURSDAY, AUG. 1. (Before T. S. Cope, Esq., Chairman)
LARCENY
Mary Ann Eldridge, an elderly woman, was complained against for having stolen some dresses and other clothing, and a paper document, the property of Mrs Sarah Owston.
Mr Walsh defended the prisoner.
Mrs Owston, the prosecutrix, was an elderly woman living separately from her husband, who was said to be in Western Australia, and the case for the prosecution was that on the 25th of June last she left a place where she was lodging, and went to live at the prisoner's house in Hotham. She took with her a carpet bag, and a trunk containing her clothing, but was of drinking habits, and had some beer while she was in the prisoner's house. It was supposed the prisoner put something into the beer which had a narcotic effect on the prosecutrix, and during that time it was believed the prisoner stole her clothing and the document.
The clothing was not recovered, but the prisoner gave up the written document, which was a deed of separation stating that prosecutrix was to receive 30s per week from her husband, to a woman who applied to her for it.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to three months imprisonment The Court then rose. END

Subsequently Sarah went to live with her niece Jane and John Freeman.
