When a; Mrs. M•Donald's Drake opened the door: witness believed the door was on the latch. I wanted the witness to go in, but he would not, and witness did not believe that any of the rest did : after about ten minutes they went away, and in the court at a little distance trout to: house the witness Was niet by Vaughan, Mackay, and Edwards. yaughan made a snatch at the wanes., but seeing he had got - nothing A.A hi:n go: soon after Draki• came after hint. and said his brothers had tha pocket-book, meaning Mrs. M•Donald's.

Mackay rocoeded to search the witness, who, conscious that he had nothing taut him, made no rasistance. On putting his hand into the wit r.es.es pocket, he pulled out a ring, and said, what you have got a donee;/ ring), to which the witness said, •• Yes, I have now, but ou put it there."

They remained there until one but nothing was done. On Saturday night another width igme sold, at which Mackay and Brown were pre sent, and they were afterwards joined by Drake, and finally by Vaug han.

It wits very late when he returned, and lie afterwards accom panied her to her 0%11 door, where she saw am other persons, one of whom was Vaughan. She enquired their imsiness, and they informed her that her house had been broke open. The rims pre lured the winkss had lent to Drake: on the Saturday evening she went to Sadler's Wells, and she was also out one other evening between Saturda... .tud Tuesday with Brown and Drake. Cruse csnmined by Mr. Au tutu.—Could not say how long be fore the robbery it was that she lent the rill; to Mr. Drake, she knew no harm of him ; he was a common acquaintance of hers ; she lived 1)014. in Plumber-street; she did not now go by the , name of M'Donald she Aid not like to be known by :hat IDIOM ailer so 11111d1 had been said in the newspapers ; she now goes by the name of Charrington, the day befoie the robbery :,he went by the name of Blond, but she never went by Ilie IMMO Of Drake. The rim was in the box on the evening of the rob bers, but she could nut say the box was locked. Drake never slept at her pause. Here the case closed on the part of the Crown. Mr. AIIABIN then rose, and on behalfof Vaughan en tered into an ingenious defence, in which he reviewed the whole of the evidence, and contended that in no part was the fact of a guilty participation made out against him, except in the unconfirmed testimony and imputation of Drake, and that the conduct pursued by hint was that of a sense of public duty as an officer. The other two prisoners had no Counsel, but they each strongly addressed the Court. Edward Christian, Chief Justice of the Isle of Ely, was called on the part of Vaughan and gave him a good character during the time he had known Lim as his servant a fiat• years ►ince. _ _ Mr. GunNkn now rose to reply to the address of Mr. Arabin, to which however the latter objected, upon the ground of his not having called witnesses on the part of the prisoners with regard to facts. Mr. CitiaNEv replied, that he was at present acting flit the Attorney General and in that situation he claimed the right of addressing the Court. The latter having admitted the authority, the learned Counsel briefly re plied to the defence that had been set up and maintained that almost in every part of the evidence, the whole of the prisoners had been proved to have been implicated in the charge which was alledged against them. The con lession of Mackay, confirmed in every particular by the other witnesses, was ctmclusive. The Chairman then proceeded to sum up the evidence which he did at great length, occasionally making such observations thereon as appeared necessary in the case. The Jury haying deliberated about three minutes, re turned a verdict—finding them all Guilty. 'lie trial lasted from ten in the morning until half= past seven in the evening, and throughout the day the Court and avenues leading thereto, were crowded to ex- The Court, through their Chairman, having addressed the prisoners on the enormity of their offinwe, sentenced each of the prisoners to imprisonment finfre !pars in the House of Correction; that they should then enter into recognizance!' to keep the peace, themselves in 801., and two sureties in 44)1. each, for three years.
