Leach, a baker, of Streatham, Surrey, were the prisoner. stolen out of a field, and the thieves passed through the toll-gate, at Redhill, with them at ten minutes before twelve, a distance of sixteen mile>, which they did in ten minutes within the hour. The animals on arriving at the gate were ready to drop from fatigue, and were shockingly jaded. The robbers, five in number, proceeded in their swift career to Earlswood Common, from whence they drove twenty more horses into the farm-yard belonging to Mr. Harding. At this time two 'about ing men, named Was. Wood and John Gaston, were returning home on the high toad, and hearing a noise in Haruing's yard, which they considered arose from the carter trying to catch his horses, and thinking they would be some assist ance to him, they went to the gate of the farm-yard, and called out, "John Ruckland, is that your They received theanswer Irons two of therobbers, of " D—n your eyes, what do you want?" and at the same time they were pounced upon by two fellows, who felled them to the ground with short bludgeon;,with which they were armed, and commenced beating them till they were nearly lifeless and bleeding profusely from their wounds; one of the ruffians bit off the end of one of Wood's fingers. They were now reinforced by the other three robbers, who rode the stolen horses, and endeavoured to cause the animals' to trample on them, but finding they did not succeed, they dismounted, and all five corn L:enced beating the poor fellows until they were nearly deprived of life. —One of the villains exclaimed—" Let us kill the b—s r After they had so disabled the men, they unsaddled the three horses they stole from Streatham, and placed them on three of the others, and the rob bers having mounted a horse each, rode off towards Salford Gate, about a mile further. Wood and Gas ton were so dreadfully injured they could not give the least alarm. On the road to Salford the robbers were met by a farmer named Thompson, of Reigate, three of whom, on seeing him, turned their horses ' heads and galloped back towards London; 'the other two rroceeded as far as the Chequers, the other side of Salford Gate, where they halted a short time, and then galloped towards London again after their as sociates. The robbers were traced to Merstham,whete all clue was i Yt.

A great proportion of the audience were Ladies. Mr. PuLLER, for the prosecution called Thos. Fa; who was sworn, and deposed as follows : _ _ . I and a blacksmith, living at Beech-lane, in the pariah of Hales Owen, on the road Irons Birmingham to Hales Owen. I knew the late Samuel Whitehouse. who was a currier, residing at West Bromwich, about five miles from me; I also know the prisoner, who lived about five mike from me, and about four from Whitehouse. Downing and Whitehouse bad each married the other's sister. Whitehouse, by man iage, had an estate near me, which he sometimes came to see. On Wednesday, the ad of April, about eight in the morning, Whitehouse came to my house, and he brought a gun. He rode on a mare which he WAS accustomed to ride, but the mare had not been that road more than once or twice. Downien came to my house about ten, bringing a colt to ne shod, and a gun-barrel to be repaired, also riding a mare. They went out together a shooting, and I ac companied them. We returned about three in the afternoon, after being out between four and five hours. When we returned, Whitehouse's gun was charged, and he took it into the house and it was charged when he went away. On our return we all took some reireslunent. I then tried to widen the breech of the gun-barrel, and we walked nut to look at Whitehouse's farm. ' We returned about six. We then took some refreshment, both food and drink. The ale came from the Dog public house, and was paid for by both. Altogether we had twelve quarts of ale. We three, a man of mine, my son and wife, partook of it ; but they had not more than two quarts of the whole.— I, Whitehouse, and Downing, drank equal quantities. We conti nued drinking till nearly nine o'clock. le this time Downing and I laid a wager on the age of his colt, of Li each. Each of us produced LI, and gave the money to Whitehouse to hold, who pot it in see of his pockets, I did not see which. I looked at the clock just before Downing and Whitehouse went away, which was on the stroke of nine. It vies moonlight, clear, but cloudy at times. It was rather calm. Whitehouse west firs;. I fetched his horse from my hovel, where it had been put up. and helped Win ea. At that time we were fresh ; but the dec.-as' ! sat hie horse very steadily. I held his horse, and gave him the gun. It was then in the state it had been the whole of the day. The lock was then entire, and the spring in its place. Down ing followed, and mounted his horse, which had been kept in our warehouse. He was in the same state in which we w,:re. They crossed the turnpike-road to go through the wood. There is a narrow path through tile wood, which joins the road near the gravel-pit. Across this path there ate two gates—mw next the road, and another 35 yards farther on. I onened the first gale for them ; Whitehouse passed through first, and Down ing followed. I went to the second gate.—Here Dawning said be bad forgotten his gun-barrel, and asked Whitehouse to stop, or he (Whitehouse) would lose his road, 10 he had done the time before. I went back for the gun-barrel, walked at a mode rate pace, and on my return found Downing waiting for me at the gate. Whitehouse had gone or.. The trees shade the road, so that more than 100 yards cannot be seen ; but he was out of sight. I gave the gun-barrel to Downing, who rode on at a foot's pace,: lending the colt in his right hand. The colt was two years old.— , The path is what ie called "a little trig-road." 1 returned and went to bed. I was awakened by my wife, who told me White house lay hurt at the Beech Tree. I went to the Beech Tree public house, and found him there wounded. I mounted White boone's mare, and rode to Downing's, to inform bins what had happened, and I informed bins of the state of his brother-in-law. I said be was very badly hurt, and had lost his money. Down ing srdd " he was very sorry it had happened, and could not think which way be went that he had missed him." Then we made ready to come to the Beech Tree. It was nearly four before we started. In returning to the Beech Tree we came through the wood. When we reached it we stopped and looked about, to see if we could find anything—it was then day-break. Ile dismounted and loennd about. He said he thought there was some blood, but it WAS not light enough to see. We then went on to the Beech Tree, and arrived nearly at five. Downing went into the room where Whitehouse was. I followed him. He was then so fel - sen sible as to know nit. Downing went to the bed-side, and asked him if he was sick? I think be said yes," but I did not hear him. He shook hands with me very much. About an hour after wards Downing made him sonic tea, fed him with a tea-spoon, took his hens: and felt his pulse,wlaich he said beat regularly. I did not see Whitehouse take Downing's band. He knew me I am sure. We remained at the Beech Tree nearly three hours. The doctor and Downing consulted that Mr.Baddeley, of Dud ley, another doctor, should be called in, ..nd Downing went for him. Between ten and eleven Downing rrtutned to the Beech Tree. Before Mr. liaddeley came Downing and I went together to the trig-road. We searched "all about the place where Whitehouse bad lain. We'found the horse in the road before we came to the spot, on that side of the gate where be was found. We then went to the place, and Downing found the spring of Whitebouse's gun in the rut. The gun-barrel taken away by Downing was produced and ideutifiad by the witness. The spring of the gun was also produced and sworn to be that found, and the gun of Whitehouse was identified in the same manner. Cross-examined by Mr. Jaava.—l had known the deceased and prisoner very well for several years. They were very inti mate, and lived together on terms of very great friendship. They were in the habit of coming frequently to my house, for the pur pose of going shooting together. The deceased brought a spaniel dog with him. His mate was a skittish mare. A month he fore he said his mare threw him at Mr. Hodgett's, having run against a stile, and had broken down the stile. He said," What a mercy it was she had not killed me," He said he would get rid of her, for she was so shy ; he was afraid she would kill him some time or other. That time I saw he had lost his way in the wood, till called back by the prisoner. The deceased was uneasy at Downing's delay, and expressed a for that he would not come. During the whole time, there were no words of anger between them ; they were very friendly ; I never saw them better friends in my life. Mr. and Mrs. Whitehouse had been married six or seven years, artd had no family. Down ing, who had married Whitehouse's sister, had four or five children. Whitehouse had taken his eldest daughter from her birth, and had adopted her as his own. She may be about eleven or twelve years of age. Whitehouse had also sent two other of Downing'schildren to school, which they talked of on the day of Whitehouse's death. I remember Whitehouse expressing his great satisfaction at what he had done, and saying what good children they were. There arc two roads through the woods—one a carriage road, and the other a little trig road. The wood then was so low that a person unacquainted with the place might easily miss his way. As Whitehorse proceeded alone, he would meet with several trig roads, among which be might also easily miss s way. If he did so, he vemskl have al lowed Downing time r o get first. I suppose Downing saw Whitehouse put the £2 into his bretehts pocket. I was present while the surgeon searched the bead. Whitehouse appeared then to know me, as he shook hands with me very much by the right band. He took the tea Irons the prisosser's. hand.

Mr. Drill, the sitting Magistrate, having taken his seat, two persons, having the appearance of respectable tradesmen, then came for ward, and tendered themselves a. his bail. The Magistrate informed them of the nature of the charge against the prisoner, and-asked them whether they were wiliirg to give bail for his appearance at the Sessions? They replied they were ready to bail him. The usual questions as to their property, debts, &c. were then put to them, and they were accepted as the bail in the sum of £250 each for the prisoner's appearance at the Sessions. 141: was bound in a recognizance of ,cseu for his appearance.
