then argued that the fast of a chisel and the purse,
which he designated as • trumpery old bag, had been
found upon them, was not milioient to convict of the
offence charged against them.
His lordship left it to the jury to say whether or not
they were satisfied with the identity of the moves bag.
If they were it was clear the person who had it in his
possession had something to do with the robbery, and
that the other, who was in his oompany, had •
ohisel upon him, was eertainly strangely suggestive of
his being connected with It.
, Prisoners were found guilty.
' Mr. Ffuoks said there was another ease of burglary
against them, and there was an indictment charging
them with being eouvicted at the Wilts Lvnt maims.
Mr. Collins said this was subsequent to the offence,
and therefore could not be proved against them.
The Judge said the words of the statute were "where
any person is convicted of any offence, and be proved
to have boon previously convicted." The words would

Samuel Wuite, grocer, at Marnholl, said prisoner had
been in his service upwards of 12 months, employed
sometimes in going to Bta!bridge to fetch coal and
groceries. On Jan. IS, he sent prisoner to St/Abridge
station to fetch goods and 5 cwt. of coal, and he gave
him 5. 2id. to pay for the coal. Wilea he returned
he brought the goods. Ou the 23rd he sent him to
fetch 8 cat, of coals acid gave him Bs. 41., in the even.
isig he returned. On the 4th February ho sent him
with lie. 31. for 6 cat. Goals. No authority was given
him to have it pet down to account, and prisoner said
he had paid. On February 4, his suspieisns were ex•
cited and witness asked him for the bill for the coal,
which he produced, but it we, receipted.
Charles Keevil, in the service of Mr. itenj sinia
Spines, coal merchant at Stalbridge, and who attended
Ito stores, remembered prisoner coining and asking for
the coal. Witness asked if he would pay for it, and
prisoner told him to put it down to kir. White. This
happened on three am miens. Witness producod a book
with the entries of the coal.
P.C. W. Hire, stationed at liarnhull, apprehended
prisoner for stealing cosi. Prisoner asked hiiai t,, tike
a message to Mr. White that he had not stoleo any
coal; but he had had some In his name, and hoped he
would have pity on him, and be would show his grati.

Prisoner esld he was guilty of not paying for the
Goal, but he had no dishonest intention, and was will-
ing to pay every farthing, and wrote to his master to
say he would pay if he would give him time. He would
have paid, but his wages had only been Bs. a week, and
his wife had been sick. He took tbc money to mile up

His lordship said if the jury' believed prisoner had
appropriated these sum., he vu gailty of ~toaling the
money. No doubt he was in a 'tat of groat poverty,
and was subject to great temptation, being entrusted
with money, as he was, but if there WU any weight in
th it, it would only affect the amount of punishment.
Tho jury found him guilty.
His Lordship said be gathered that the other charge
was that of bringiog bsols a short quantity of Goal.
Ho did not think it would he worth while to go into
that.
Mr. Catter assented.

In sentenoin prisoner, hia Lordship said he had boon

that respectable young lady, Miss Oreatbatch. When he went
Lond ..... and wrote those letters representing conversations
with hi. father about being married to her, he was actually
living with lii4 wife in lin father's house. It was hardly
p witile to conceives wone cam than this in. moral point of

to be mixed up in the affair. My solicitor and others have told
me no jury would convict under the cireumnancee, to If this
be theca.e what will your feelings be to see alter all the
expense and exposure you have gained absolutely nothing,
but have a lasting remembrance, that you have with-
held mercy when yourself may one day crave for it.
My feelings towards Date will weer bangs, and on
hearing what my sentence ully4l be, she told her mother and
Mr. Atkinson she would not care if they would only allow her
'at share my imprisonment- You will now perhaps see how
devotedly we love one another. Mr. Nord, I am given to
understand, is taking proceedingn fur a divorce, and of course
will get it Ile has written down to Mr. Shapland, of Bland-
lord, fir the names and addremet of person, who mu prove
the cane, and ere this is in prression of the required informa-
tion. I shall then be able to mike some amends for the wrong
I have done Date (and Ido to hope I may he ab:e to). I tobl

from the person whom I had been forced to link myself to,
and we 'vere Hsiang very happy till the mom I was appre-
hended. Should they not take th, divorce, I am bound &oil
willing to be true to Dotte, and this I mean to do on my soul.
Again asking rou to pardon the !hefty of my writing, I am,
