She went home and informed her husband who went

Witness's husband generally corroborated her state-
ment, adding that after his wife went home, he went
to the workmen's mesaroom where he secreted him-
self. By and bye the prisoners came and looked
round, and perceiving the larlsler had been removed,

scaffolding from Shiner and Windsor's premises. He
said the next thing would be his ladder, and he marked
It by driving a topper nail in each butt end. Three
weeks afterwards the ladder was missing, and he
informed the district police of the fact. Six weeks
after it was missing he AIM the ladder on Windiuses
and Shiner's premises, and went and took it to his
father's premises at Lilliput. Hearing that Shiner
and Windsor claimed it as their property, he went to
Mr. Kemp-Welch, the magistrate at Poole, to ask his
ads ice. Mr. Welch referred him to Mr. Allen, the
magistrates' clerk, to get two summonses. These were
refused, on the ground that the ladder had been taken
and retaken. Under these circumstances Supt. Hunt
advised him to act as he had done.—The other pri-
toner said something of a similar nature; and Mr.
Trevanion, for the defence, said it was a matter which
evidently ought to have been settled in another Court.
The prisoners believed the ladder was theirs, and they
acted under the advice of a magistrate, • magistrates'
clerk, and a superintendent of police. Under these
circumstances he should, if their worships sxmaidered
it a case for a jury, ask for an adjourmilent, in order
to have the evidenoe of these gentlemen. He then
called Mr. Meadon, ladder.maker, of Kiruion, who
swore the ladder was made by him, and believed it
was • 28-rong ladder he had made for the prisoner
William. He WWI of opinion that two conga had been
cut from the small cad. —On the application of Mr.
