BOROUGH SKBBIO2IB, Monday.—Before the Mayor
(Captain Prowse), E. Bayly, J. Ayling, W.
Talbot, and C. Penny, Eaqra—The men, Cox
and Bryant, charged with stealing timber were
again brought up, and the evidence adduced
yoeterday having been read over and confirmed, Mr.
Howard addressed the Bench on behalf of his clients,
remarking that it would be useless to deny the facts
of the case. The soldier bore the highest character
in hia regiment, having been in various parts of the
world, and by his good behaviour had risen from the
-ranks to that of a corporal. As regarded Cox, he
held in hie hand, • certificate, awarded him for good
tbabaviour and long servitude. He had now only
-Oa give the men's statement, and then leave them
,ffir the Bench to deal with. Their story was this :
On the night in question, Cox being out of flrewcoi,
sticoompanted Bryant to the Naha, and took up the '
wood, winch they did not think of any value.
Captain ihnith, one of Bryant's officer's, save him
an excellent character, saying he had been nuts years i
sntt w half in the service, and had two good conduct
badges. He had known the man himself personally
for about a year, and he was of opinion that he
would be the lass man in the world to
commit • theft.—ln reply to the Bench the officer
said the oommaeding officer desired to press this
charge, ae petty thefts were most numerous on the
Nothe.—Tho Mayor, in giviog the decision of the
Bench, said in oonsideration of the good characters
which had been given prisoners they would itabot
! the Mast punishment at .their Power, via., one
inotab't bard labottr..—The soldiera belonging to
the 75th Regiment, were again placed in the dock
on the cherge of stealing a watch and some money.
In addition to that heard on Monday, a little boy,
12 yeses of ago, named Albert Burdou, son of the
landlord of the house in which the supposed robbery
took place, was called, but he only said he went to
, bed at six o'clock, and daring the night heard one
' man say to another, "Now let as go on." He did
not see the men. —The wife of the landlord proved
that prisoners were in her house, but failed to bring
home the charge imputed to them.—The Bench dis-
missed the ease, there not being sufficient evidence
to implicate the prisoners.
