He assured them that he had no money.worth their notice, but they might search where they would, and take what they would, if they would only spare his life. Fourniss said, money they wanted, and money they must have, and asked where his breeches were. Witness told them they were laid upon a chair by the bed-side, but there was only 6d. in the pockets, which was all the money he had ; he did not see them take it out, but in the morning he found that it was gone, and he was sure that it was in his pocket• when he went to bed : after that, Fourniss again threatened to kill him with a knife; they both came to his bed-head, and Fourniss said, that as' he would not inform them where his nioney was, they would kill him; witness then requested time fir prayer. Wilkinson said to Fourniss, " let him p ay," alai the witness prayed a few pilot tea whilst the Prisoners both stood over him: when he had done praying, Wilkinson seemed to relent, for when the other said, " he will not, show us where the money is, we must kill him!"— Wiikitionti said, " No ! we will not kill him."— Fourniss then went into the cellar, leaving Wilkin son to stand over him with the knife. Wilkinson told the witness he need not he afraid, ,but might tie down and sleep, for he should not he hurt if he :could hell, it. When Fourniss came out of the cel lar; he *pot into a hack place where his loom was. Wittiest said, that when they were standing over him, threatening to take his life, he told them if they would spare his life, he would get them a few notes from his daughter, and lay them in a hole at the house end for them, which they might fetch away the following night. Witness said, they remained in the house about an hour, and took away with.them about nine or ten pounds of bacon, a quantity of , butter, and about forty eggs: they took the key of his door, and went out of the back window, which was the way they entered his house. The Jury.re tired for about half an-hour, and on their return into Court found the Prisoners—Guilty ; but recom mended Wilkinson to mercy, on account of the com passion he had shewn. 4SSIZES. —Now— WAR W ICK. Titst week came on at these Assizes the trial of John lhoshoil, Thomas Hadley, and Thomas . Irtitaker, for coining counterfeit three-shilling piec. s. Thomas Lowe, a constable of Birmingham, and cl!ier police-officers, on the '2Bth of Alay, went to a house in Freeman-sleet, lately occupied by one ho was tried last Assizes for coining. He he ird distinctly tne soind of a large press at work ; it was about one o'clock in the afternoon. The ho .se fro.itecl Freeman-street, but there is an en trance into it from an aejoining yard. By this yard the constable and the officers got irtu the house, and sec,red the Prisoners. In the room where they were at sr .k were two furnaces earc.dingly hot, suffie en 'y so f r t:.e fusion of metal. Witness turned to Ha , and said, " friu may as well tell us where the 'les are ;" he said they Were in the stove. They im nediately pulled the stove down, and saw o taken out : they had been ground on a stone so as to prevent the full impression appearing. One of the Pi isonera said, " you are rather too late; you should I are heen sooner." ' He said there is nothing in tile other stove: *Con examining it, they fouhd metal in a fusible state: in the same room was tonna a grinding-stone; in the bottom room there was also a store. The Prisoner, Whitaker, threw some blanks or pieces of copper into it. Wm. Taylor went with the last witness to Whita ker's house i • he gut aver a wall to it by means of a scaiing-laddt r, and heard, as he was getting over, the noise of a press going ; he also heard a bell ring, and afterwards the noise of doors opening and shut. tine. Th. , re was a door out of the shop into White ke:'e yard; witness forced the lower door; it was firteotel %et") two izugo iron bolts in the inside, and eared with sheet iron ; the windows were defended 2 by remarkably strong iron bars ; in the lower shop he found Whitaker in a well, belonging to a large press ; he was stooping and gathering up some pieces of metal, awl then threw them into a red-hot furnace. Prisoner said, " You should have been here a tit.Artvr of an hour ago; you are too late."' —Taylor then tried to force his way through a trap-doer into the second room, but could not' until he sprang a plank hi the floor. In this room there ens another trap-door, which he could force : he then sprang open the outside to another window belonging to the top-room, looked in, anall saw Hadley and Leather ; one of them was working at a grind -stone. At that moment his feet slipped.' and he fell, bet caught hold by his hands. Witners . presently broke the iron bars of the• window with rt• strong instroroent, and got into the room ; he soon opened the trap.dmer, and let in Payn, the constable; I and two others. The door was fastened in the in side by strong iron bars, let into the wall. Some metal was produceck the witness found iu a lower shop , in artirnace. Thorns; bale, a police-officer, endeavoured to get through the hole that the last witness had made in the cieling, but did not succeed. Henshall forced him down by a ladder, which he believes was the same they made use of to get from one shop to another, through the trap doors. He took from the furnace, in the lower room, a steel collar, which is used in the making of money. Joseph Leather (an accomplice, admitted King's evidence), had been acquainted with the Prisoner liere.hall a long time; he worked with him six weeks before the 281 k of May. The other Prisoners fre quently came to Ilenshall's. Witness was at his house by three o'clock in the morning of the 28th.—. He was to mind the furnaces, while they struck the three-shit/jug pieces. Hetishall told him the furnaces were to melt three.shilling pieces, if any thing was the matter. Prisoner Lindley came soon after. Al half-past three they began to work at making 3s. pieces. Ilenshall put them in the dies, and Whitaker and Hadley struck them. The dies were cold-silvered when they were put into the press; they had been silvered the day before. Ilenshall and Hadley silvered sometimes, and sometimes witness. Whitaker took them away when they were finished ; they were wrap ped up in two papers, brown and white, in ten dozens, slid twenty dozens; they were•taken away every three or four hours, u they were made. Witness heard them say they wore to he charged seven shit flogs a dozen.
