monist he was roused from sleep by one of his servants,
who raised an alarm at his bedroom door, and told him
that she had jut sus the legs and fat of a man protruding
from under the sofa in the back parlour. Witness instantly
hastened down stairs, but not observing asythiog at all
ululated to confirm the statement of the girl he was about
to return to his bed, when he noticed that a door communi.
Gating with his shop from the aide passage, and which he
bed carefully locked on the previous night, was wide open.
Witness accordingly entered the shop, at the end of which
he saw a pair of shoes lyia&cloise to the ullar-flep,
and on farther search disooverethat his till was pertly
open, and that the whole of its contents, amounting to about

man, who made his way into the cellar, from whion he
returned almost immediately with the prisoner, who wee
found is possession of a sum of money 'sadly corresponding
with the mutat he had left in his till. The prosecutor
added that he found the outer doors sad wiadows securely
fastened, as ha left them overnight, and it was therefore
perfectly evident that the prisoner had availed himself of ea
opportunity to meets himself in the place in the ooares of

time in questice he was called into the house by the pro.
sectitor, at whose request hedges:ended lain the cellar, where
he found the prisoner coiled up in a corner ceder • heap of
sacks, which were so disposed as effectually to screen kiss
from observation. The prieoner had no shoes on at the
time, but on conveying him to the shop he took up the pair
referred to by the last witness, which he coolly put on, and
claimed them as his property. Witness then proceeded to
search Dim, and found in his pockets the miser and copper
massy which the prosecutor identified as having been stolen
from bis till.
Thu prisoner declined offering any definer, and was fully
committed for trial.
