Charier Kimble (who wore the prises dress, sad wee

Portised. I have been matemed to MMus years' peed
servitude. About the 16th of October, 166,1 broke broke late

There was a large envelope. My friend mid, "Cherley,
we've got it here, I think." The envelope had written as
it, -me is my Quick," as assrty as I
ma recollect. I Melt, the seal ; cad Shea
I saw that the envelope cowtairred •• will. signed " Yl.
Quick." I threw it down. My friend picked ft up arid
read the beet pert of it. He talked about midair some use
of it himself, but I took it from him and put it is the fire,
because I thought that that was the beet place for it. It
was burst. This was hairs= owe sad two o'clock 111 the
daytime. There was a small drewdag-room or closet is the
bedroom, sad we found the dreaming ease in that. We
took • valuable dismowd bracelet, a treMoue aimed ring,
sod emend other articles of value.

or ) is:eia;nloed:=At, the tinrT I robbed Yr. Quick's
house the police were alter as foe conunittiag Numerous
robberies about the country by mesas of • diet lone wed •
Rig. I was apprebrded on the 154 h of November. I
don't know when my computhou is cow, or whether he is
is prison. I decline to elate hi name. I have been bronght
hers very much against my will.
Mr. "Kerslake—l suppose you an at Ponied also mash
against your will. I should like to hear mon •boat
this man.

—*lama—Yoe won't hear it from me. I did not know
whose house it was. I was taker. there by a Wend who
told me that there was a jewel ease, but I did sot know
of the drawing owe till we found it. I was assinined by
the Governor of Pentoriville Priam on the subject of
this robbery. I did mot tell him or the chaplain
that I bad also found a policy of insammos.
Captain Craig was the gentleman who quettionisd me. I
told him at first that I did not know whether I had robbed
Mr. Quick's house or aot—l had robbed so many houses. I
had, however, good reason for remembering it. The (touch-
Mg his pokes) makes me remember it. Captain Quid asked
me if I bed takes a will and • policy of imams*, end I said
I had them. At that time I was sufferieg the severest
punishment that man ever suffered in attempting to make
my escape, and I was not in • very good humour. Captain
Craig told me that they did not are about the jewels, they
only wanted to know about the pyas ; and I wished to
put him into as moth anxiety of mind se I was miming
myself. Besides this Quick had tried to make me •
prisoner when I went to rib • boon ekes by his,
the day after I had robbed him. I knew ft was Mr.
Quick's how, I was in when I saw his name on the will.
There could be no doubt that it was a will. My friend
wanted to aseertais whether the party was clad ; but I
would not let him keep the document because I thought it
would lead to our detection. The will was in two or three
sheets, about eight or nine inches in width. A lady and
gentleman tome
to speak to me at Peetonville, awl I re-
cognised the former, for I had NM her sitting at the
window of Mr. Quick's home. About October leaf an
affidavit was brought to me to sign. The eoevonatioe I
had with the lady and gentleman was In the July previous.
The following purge in the of was that read to
the witness :—" I gave the will to • friend to read and con-
sider whether he could not propene it with grimy to a reward
if offered et any filters time for its rostmation. I and my
friend then determined to destroy it, in owe the preservation
of it might led to the deb/dim of one or both of ark and I
thereupon put the mid will into the fire, and also the said
letter and other papers which I found in the said dressing-
case. IWI not in any way ewers what the contests of the
✓aid will or letter were, bat lam quite °oriels that one of
the documents I so took away and destroyed was a
will, as lam a scholar 'Lod I ren read writing, and am
familiar with wills, having observed that they were kept in
similar places as dimming cases, sad I have invariably de-
stroyed by fire such wills. I can distinctly speak to the
destruction of at least sir of such wine by me cadet the cir-
cumstances aforesaid, and I particularly recollect the one in
quertion, from the peculiar way in which I effected the rob-
bery while the family were at dimmer."
Witness (in 000tinuatioe).—I knew it was dinner time,
became I saw a servant taking some dinner things into a

By the Jodge.—On the night following I went to rob a
house throe doom off. I aew Mr. Quick oxne out and look
for me, but I hid myna:, and he went away. I robbed the
house and got clear off. I knew he intended to have egged
met he had c►ught me.
The Judge—That is what you all an attempt to arrest
sod for that you determined to do him an the in-
you could
Wituom—l determined that I would not answer anything
to hie benefit. _ .

Per the defence. Mr. Jobe Bresnan quick wee examined.
He stated that Mr. Boed had told him after the funeral
that the will was for the benefit of the child Alioa, sad that
be did not know wkoyat the executor.

C►ptainCndg saidhe bad ;;;;;;16satreietioso from the
Beeretary of State to spe►k to Ramble, who said that he
bad destroyed both s will and a policy of insurance.
Mr. Denham, Glair to the deceased, said that the policy
wee at find m' g. bat afterwards found at the ogles.
The Re►. Mr. ehaplaie of the prison, produced
• letter from Mrs. making inquiry after the jewels,
which sbe said had • special value to her, but toying no-
thing whatever about the will.
Mr. Kerslake, in addition to the legal objection he had
previously takes to the evidence bearing on the contents
ci the deceased's will, commented on the variations in Kam-
ble's two statements, sad on the eingularitz of the widow's
having tats( oat letter, of administration in Augnst, 1863,
after she bad been in communication with him. The rea-
son she alleged for having done so was bums* she w►s not
aware that any one could speak to the contents of the will
but herself ; yet Mr. Bond was her cousin by marriage, ►nd
it wee difficult to Imagine why she had not occulted him
sooner.
