Amid the uncongenial surroundings of a, felon's dock («ays the Melbourne Age of June 25) Ghorge Henry Fros t'ck played his last part in an adven ture which grvrtad as a pleasant little ronaance, but ended with some of the elements of tragedy, Frostick stood bis trial at the Criminal Court before MrJusticfl a'Beckett on a charge of stealing XIB2O in cash and s^rac j<jwel lery from Mrs Sarah P.+yns, a wiHow, whose acqaaintaosf! he toale in the South of Ens land toward* the close of ]a«l year, As distant fields looked greenest, Mrs F»y ii a agreed to add her Capital to th%t possessed by Frostick, and to come oafc to, Australia to start buineis. They were also going to .enter into the booda of matrimeny, and M»"i P»yn© confided her fortune, ■Maaoanting to nearly £2000, to her lover, on the understanding that he Was to send it oat to Australia by draft payable in Sydney. They left Bngland in the steamer Aberdaps, tmd reached Melbourne on the 27th December, Two days later Frostick lofijEthe steamer with the declared Intention of buying some frnit for Mrs Pi»yne and her two childr«n, but instead of doing that he took passage for South Africa on the Sophocles under the name of H»rry Fite. ■ He sent Mrs F«yne a note buying he had gone to Sydney overland to prepare a home for her. Mrs Payne continued her journey by the Aberdeen, bat of coarse could xiofe find anything of her quondam loyetf The morements of Frostick nere traced, and he was arrested at Dorban, in Natal, being eventually brought back to Mel bourne hy I'ftective Dalton. Wbon arrested at Durban, Frostick had £470 and a lot of jewellery in his possession, among the articles being a seal which Mrs Payne declared bad ( been Ftolen from h"r. It transpired that Frostick sever sent the monny to Sydney, bnt he did address a regie'ored letter to 'Mr Charles Payne.' When opened, the envelope was ion .d to contain a piece of Wetting paper with the words, 'Hfire witfi ©melons draft for £3800' scrawled oaii.

Beyond giving a general denial to Mr» Payoa'a statement aboafc their mooeUry trantacM'ons, accased, who waa defended by Mr Purvis, K;O, and Mr Dettmdge (inatrncted by Mr H Badd), offered practically no defence The jarfi withoat much delay, re tamed » verdict agsinst accused of stealing both the money and the jewel lery Hie Honor Baid this case co plainly oalled for very severs punishment that it wm unnecessary for him to follow his nsoal plan and consider what sen tence be should pace. Prisoner had not only robbed the woman who had trusted him, bnt instead of pleading guilty, as he ought to have done, he apparently bad instructed his counsel lo insult her by suggesting as his reason for running away that she was of intemperate hahifce. It wia a cold blooded sttempt to rain the wom*n whose fortune he had made away with. The sentence on each charge would be five yeare, to be concurrent Prsonsr pointed oat- thut he had already bern six mon'hs in custody Rwaiticg hia trial, and his Hooorre daced the sentence to four years and a jhalf on each charge
