Alderman Carter—To whom you are certainly very
much obliged.
Witnese—Well, I do believe I am ; but I really thought
they were real gentlemen.
Mr. nobler (for Hay.)—Well, captain, you have lost
nothing. Have you ?
Witness (haying at the desire of Alderman Cuter exa-
mined his porket-book)—I am all right. I never let any
thing out of my band; but I didn't think there was the
least danger near.
Alderman Carter—Let some of our Officers give Captain
Card a little information about his new friends.

Faunal (the detective)—l have-
known the prisoner
French eight years. Five years ago he was transported
for ten years, bat in consequence of severe illness and the
breeking out of sores over his body the punishment was
commutectto imprisonment for two years. I have known Noy
three years to be the associate of thieves, and engaged in
picking up flat captains. He once morapect.from me.
Spittle (the deteeti re)—l believe the two prisoners to have
been pectin concerned in the robbery of 751. in Bank of
England notes a short time ego.
Scott and Brett (also detective °fleets), stated that they
knew the prisonen to be constantly engaged in robbing cap-
tains and sailors about the neighbourud in which they I
were apprehended.
Alderman Carter said it was quite evident that the pri-
soner, were experienced bands. and that if Evans, the
oflioer, had not interrupted their plans, the c.ptain would
have had cause to regret the nay way in which he obtained
introduction to the acquaintance of the gentlemen of Lon-
don. (Laughter.)
The Alderman ;then sentenced each of the prisoners to
imprisonment and hard labour as rogues and vaiabonds for
six weeks.
