him, and knocked him down. One of the men took up the
flre-poker and threatened the prosecutor that If be either

cutoi resisted es well as he could, and in the course of the
struggle that ensued between him and lodge he received
many braises over his head on the floor, which wee
afterwards observed to be sprinkled with blood ia several
places. Another of the ruffians, Shaw, went to the pro-
secutor's wife, and said that it she gave any alarm he

her. The burglars then proceeded to ransack the bowie, and
on seeing the tea caddy in the cupboard they immediately
broke it open and took the contents. The men had their
faces blacked, but, by the light of the candle, the prosecutor
was able to identify Lodge as the man who knocked him
down. After searching all over the house for money they at
length found the purse containing the 3s. 6d., and being
eausfied that they had got all the cash they could, locked
the prosecutor and his wife in the house, and decamped. On
the day before the robbery the three prisoners were seen to.
nether between 3 and 4 o'clack in the afternoon going in the
direction of the prosecutor's house, and at a later period in
the day, between 6 and 7, they were seen near to the pro-
secutor's. On the night of the robbery they were at a beer-
shop In Huddersfield, at which time they had very little
money ; but on the following morning they hwere ad a large
amount of gold in their poeseseron, which they squander-
ing away in the moat prodigal manner. Oa Mnda y, the

some difficulty, taken into custody. All the prisoners were

the amount in hand 8,448,6301. The increase of
active circulation, with the decrease of pubolicdirt de-

discount business had taken place, but that, on the
contrary, it was falling off.
