Newgate, awaiting their trial, in stealing, a large quantity of
goods, the property of MOW,. Wood, ut Waling street.—
Oa a former occasion flrolOoCll was taken against the BUM,
but it was necessary for the ends of justice that it should not
obtain publicity.—Mr. Ballantine, for the prosecution, said
it might be in the recollection ot all parties who penned the
police reports, that an extensive system of robbery had been
dissevered, from which the warehousemen of London were
the thief satinets, they having been robbed to a most serious
extent by their servants, and the goods purchased by par
ties who, from their respectability, were heretofore above
suspicion. Since the committal of the parties at pretest in
Newgate, a servant, under sentence of transportation, had
made a communication to Messrs. Wood, and given
such iaforniation as resulted in the apprehension of the tour
prisoners at the bar. This servant was F. Young,
who said that he had been in Messrs. Wood's eth
plc meat for about 18 months, and was convicted
end sentenced to transportation for robbing them.
He commenced den; so six months after entering their ser-
vice, and both Whaeher and Lee were there, the former
ea head porter, and the latter as carman. He otten went
out in conjunction with Whitcher. He was first concerned
in stealing 63 yards of printed drugget and about 40 or 60
yards of bane. He woe assisted to peek them up by a man
now awaiting his trial in Newgate. They were packed up
in the cellar. The man now in Newgate took them away.
The prisoner Whitcber *sleeted them from the stock in the
cellar, and was present while they were being packed. No-
thing took place between him and the prisoner, but they
proceeded to Burt's house, when Mrs. Burt took in the
goods, and about 41. was received at various times. On one
occasion He. Burt was present. He received 25e. or 26.. out
of the proceeds of this transaction. The next robbery was
of 100 yards of flannel, which he took to the Axe Tap, Al-
-1 derinanbury, and received from Whitcher either 11. or 265.
He next remembered four square Kidderminster carpets which
IMO returned from a customer, when he gave them to the
party now in Newgate, aid saw them afterwards in Burt's
shop. He received 21. Be. for them, and it was shared be-
' tween him sod the man in prison. Whitcher waa not then
present. With respect to the prisoner Lee, witness knew of
his taking table-coven four or five times in a week for the
last 12 months. Witting received money for Lee and shared
it with him. He was convicted for stealing a drugget and
hearthrag, which he sold for Bs., and gave the money to the
prisoner Leis.—lnspector Howard deposed that, with respect
to Bart and his wife, from inhumation he received, be di-
rected en Aker to watch the premises, and eventually
he searched the house and found 13 pieces of canvas, four
pieces of drugget, three of baize, two table-covers, two back-
log, one haw*, four sheets, 11 carpets, some serge and

RAILWST.—R. Frost, a guard in the employ of the Great
Western Railway Company, was charged with robbery.—
J. March, chief guard in charge of the goods train from
Bristol to Paddington on the previous morning, deposed that
while proceeding from Bath t 3 Chippenham, the prisoner
had taken his place in parts of the train which it was not
usual for guards to occupy. Witness searched his basket
and found therein some habitahirts, a child's robe, and •
quantity of satin neck-ties. After the train had started
from Slough, witness asked prisoner what he had which
did not baba' to him, when he begged that he might
be allowed to destroy the things alluded to, which
he admitted be had taken from • box. He told wit-
ness that he might keep the article.. He afterwards
fell upon his knees and begged that nothing might be
mentioned respecting the matter, as it would be his ruin,
and when within a mile or two of station, and while the
train was going at the rate of 16 miles an hour, he threw
himself out Into the road.—Mr. Collard, superintendent of
the company's pollee, said prisoner was dreadfully bruised,
and he had had a miraculous escape.—From the other evi-
dence gone into no doubt could exist with regard to the pri-
soner having abstracted the article* found in his basket from
a package which was delivered at the station at Reading.
In the prisoner's room was a pistol, which he said was in-
tended for the guard March, and no doubt could exist with
