488IZB INTELLIGENCE

HOME CIRCUIT.—KuDeroNE, IDLY 30.
Clown 510114—(Sofas Mr. Justice Blackburn.)
William if 30, late a warder In the convict prison at
Chatham, was charged upon firs indictments with the
offence of burglary.
Mr. J. Smith prosecuted. The Owner was defended
by Mr. Doyle.
The circumstances of this am war of • very peculiar and
unusual character. It append that the prisoner had been
for thirteen months employed as • warder at the convict
prison at Chatham, end be had condoled himself is such en
nomplary manner as to gain the entire confidence of hi.
superiors, and at the time of his apprehension he had been
promoted to the rank of barrack serpent on foreign service,
and was about to proceed to Plymouth to receive instruction
in his duties. The prisoner had previously been in the 95th
Regiment, and eerved daring the Crimean war, and received
cloye for the Wilmot the Alma, Inkermana, and Baleklave.
His conduct as • soldier was most exosikst, and upon the
return of the regiment to Eriglaed he was invalided, and was
eubsequently appointed to the L division of the metropolitan
police, and received a high testimonial of character from Sir R.
Mayne upon hisrleavieg the foram to take the situation of
warder at the Chatham prison. It appeared that during
the last taw weeks several burglaries had taken place at
Chatham, and the inquiries made by Mr. Everest, the univa-
lves:Went of polee etationod at Chatham, who Is an officer of
great experience, led him to imepect the prisoner, but his po-
sition, and the estimation in which he appeared to be held by
those acquainted with him, deterred him at first from taking
active proceedings. On the night of the 12th of July the
oen.lase of a beershop keeper at Gillingham were broken
into and a wort-box and other article stolen, and it ap-
peared that on the 15th the prisoner and his wife were about
to leave Chatham to proceed to Plymouth. Just
as the train was about to start, Everest west on
to the platform at Strood, and asked the prisoner
if he had any objection to hie loggers being examined,
and be said he had not, and Everest *Remised some boxes
that were pointed out to him, but found nothing that would
justify him In detaining the prisooer, end he consequently
allowed him and his wife to proceed on their journey. Im-
mediately after the train had started, the Alm ascertained
that on the previous day severs] wimps had been sent to
the station, addressed to the prisoner, which were to have
been sent on to London by the goods train, and upon Everest
examining three packages, he found • portion of the produce
oleo less than five different berglarles that had been recently
committed. He also toned • doubler barrel nvolving pistol,
loaded with slugs, some chide that corresponded in
site with the marks upon SOMA of the pro-
mises that had been broken open, • metre bit,
and a dark lantkorn. A telegraphic memos was immediately
sent to stop the prisoner at Woolwich, and Everest proceeded
by the next train and took him into custody. One of the
singular facts of the coo was that the property taken by the
prisoner appeared to be of the meet trumpery description and
of very small value, and he did not appear to have sold any
portion of the articles that had been stolen.
• Mr. Doyle, in the mouths of a very able address to the joy
on behalf of the plisoner, called their attention to the re-
markeble nature of the are, and he urged the extreme im-
probability that • man, who had been proved to have all Dia
life borne a most extraordinarily good character, should
have committed such offences as those that were
now Imputed to the prisoner. He said that he
solemnly asserted his Innocenti, and the way In which be
was instructed to amount for the possession of the property
was that be had exchanged Nome of his furniture for it with
• man who travelled about the country.
The jury, after • very short deliberation, returned &verdict
of Gaily.
The learned jags, in noting potence, said he regretted to
have to do so upon a man who no doubt had for a consider-
able time borne • most excellent character, and to have
enjoyed the confidence of those who employed him.
It wss clear, however, that he had committed
all these burglaries, and it was perfectly absurd to
suppose that he could have purchased the produce of Co
different burglaries from • stranger. lie also could not lose
sight of the fact that the poreossion of e pistol in the elate in
which this one was found, showed that he was prepared to
have resorted to deadly violence if he had been interrupted in
the course of his guilty proceedings. Under all the circum-
stances be felt it to be his duty to order him to be kept in
penal servitude for the specie of boo years.
