and fully given. The prisoners were opprehended by Sergeant
Copping, of the K division, at a house in Cromwell-road,
Bethnal-green, and in one of the upstairs rooms nearly the
whole of the stolen tee was discovered. The male psi-
sows were proved to occupy the different rooms in the
house, and the woman Close lived with George and passed
as hie wife. The evidence went to show that all the mile
prisoners were coocereed in the removal of the stolen pro-
perty, and George was positively identified as having hired
a tart in which the stolen tea was conveyed from the
warehouse of the prosecutors to the house where it was
fond. An attempt was made to show that the fourth man,

property, but the evidence as to his identity was not at all
