apprehension?— Superintendent Caliow showed
the watches to the- Recorder, and intimated that be

—The Recorder {having examined the watches,
which appeared to be of considerable value), said he
should take upon himself to alter Jones's sentence to
eight mouths —five for the -first, and three for the
seoond offence. Neither of the prisoners could have
been very distressed. If they had been honest men,
they would have sold their watches before com-
mitting an offence of this kind. The watches would
be handed over to the Governor of the gaol, and
would be returned to them when their sentence
expired. It was lucky for them that they had not
been indicted for felony. —The Court rose about
