BUR'LARY AT GREAT BOLTON,

John Jones (30), committed by J. Okon, Esq., on the
14th Dec., 1860, described as being able to read, was
arraigned on a charge of having, at Great Bolton, bur-
gariouslv broken and entered the dwelling-house of
Thomas Wilson, and stolen therefrom one coat and one
Cap, the
,goods add chattels of Thomas Wilson. From
the opening statement of the learned counsel ,it appeared
that the prosecutor kept a beer-shop in Cidel-street, in
Great Bolton, and on the night of the 10th December
last, about the hour of twelve o'clock, the prisoner was
seen by a policeman coming out of a window in the
beer-shop carrying a coat and cap, for the possession of
which he could not satisfactorily account to the officer,
who then took him into custody, and having roused up
the landlord of the house ascertained from him that the
articles which the prisoner had got belonged to him.
It also transpired that the prisoner obtained an entrance
into the house by breaking open one of the windows. The
prisoner was defended by Mr. Littler, who, in his
address to the jury, pointed out hog inconclusive the
evidence was which was brought forward against the
prisoner, to whom he hoped they would give the benefit
of any doubt they might entertain in the case. After
his lordship's address, the jury found the prisoner guilty,
and, previous convictions having been proved against
him, he was sentenced to four years' penal servitude.
