From the Richmond Dispatch, 8/16/1864, p.1, c. 6

Robbery. – While Mrs. Anthony Rawlings was passing through the First Market yesterday morning some thief thrust his hand into her dress pocket and abstracted therefrom a pocketbook, in which was two hundred and seventy-five dollars. She knew nothing of her loss till she went to settle for some meat bought from one of the butchers, and found that it was gone.
