He pleaded guilty, when the Chief Baron, with the characteristic humanity of a British Judge, told him that the Witmer would affect his life, and re quested him to consider the subject. The prisoner replied, that he w.ts guilty, and that it would only be adding to his crime to plead not guilty. The Chief Baron said, that the curt would give him time to consider of the subject before his plea was recorded. His Lordship then examined the deposi tions and the indictment, and alter Inure than half an hour, again asked him if he bed considered the advice to retract the plea, and if he knew the consequences of it. He replied, he had, and still wished to plead gully.

It appeared, that on tile morning of the 3d instant, about one o'clock, Mrs. Brume!, an elderly lady, who residia at Eastrey, near Canterbury, whoe: house is detached front any other, went from her sitting room into her dnureing room. On her entering it, she saw two men at the window dressed - in smock frocks., on the lawn; they immediately on perceiving her, forced their way in at one of the windows, each of them seizing her by the arms, and presenting pistols to her head, and swear ing they would shoot her if die made a rinse, one of them had his face covered with black crape, and it is strongly suspected, he well knew the premises, and where Mrs. Brume' kept *her valuable property, as they took her to the closet and drawers where it was deposited, and breaking them open with iron crows. Mrs. B. intreat:d tile robbers not to use violence, and she would give them her keys. They took Mull( of England notes, Sandwich and other notes, to a consi.lerable amount. They missed taking guineas, and gold and silver foreign coins to a large amount, which Mrs. Itrumel kept at the top of the closet in canvas bags and wooden bowls. They then went to the place where tits piate and jewils were kept, taking Mrs. Brum.l with them, and frequently iirefenting pistols to her. She then saw two Miler p roans , one of them a men in a smock frock, the other WAS in a female dress, but from the voice and general appe trance Mrs. Brume' had no doutt but that it was a man in woman's clothes. —They packed up the plate, which was as much as filled a k, Mrs. Brumel's stock of plate having of late years very much in creased by legacies from relations and friends. The man at the door, and bus companion in female attire, became impatient for their companions who had been robbing the house and holdine! pis tols over Mrs. B. frequently calling to them to conic out, they having been in the house two hours. They left the house with their booty, but soon returned again, bringing the sack full of plate back. When they were leaving the house, they told Mrs. 11. they should leave a man to watch the house, and if she moved from the spot for two hours after, or made an alarm, she would be murdered. Tne principal articles which they took, besides the ash and notes, were several old-fashioned gold watches, and a box of trinkets. It was ascertained that the prisoner was on horseback about the time of the rubbery, and he answers the description of one of the robbers ; but that will be ascertained at a fu ture examination.
