sad the furniture front the coffins that ware In the vaults of

Mr. Cooper, at the clods of the ems for the prososatioe,
took •legal objection to the indictomat. He said that the
property in these mad metals wee laid to be la the
rep pork and elm la the obsrekwardems,
=4l that the property did sot legally vest in
either ef them pities, mad that it should have been de-
scribed either me the property of the executors of the de-
creased persons, and If they could not be discovered, them
ss the property of Kew peruse us knows.
The Itecordir,
the after • good deal of legal argament, said it
him that property wen properly described in
rbarld to
ietment, sad that the car must go to the jury.
Mr. Ribton then submitted that upon the merits there
really was no evidence to go to the jury against the elder
Charles Orisathero. All that was proved against him was
that when be wee taken into custody be told the officer that
be enspeeted something woe wrong, and that if he had known
he had been coming, he should not have found him.
The Recorder said that the evidence against this prisoner
was metaialy very *light, and it was eventually arrenged
that a media at bet Gui?ty should be taken in his ewe.
The learned conceal for the other prisoners then severally

who were me ed in the vault., that they might have taken
these err under the idea that they were et no vales,
sad that at all events it wee almost impoorible to my by
whom the property bad actually been tree. On behalf of

Mr. 81aiid, who eras cted for ti;prossc idiom in Otte
ease, said that It was postponed front the last session, and Once
then, upon a consideration of all the facts, he and his learned
Mend, Mr. Oiffatd, had coma to the conclusion that the
charge of obtaining goods by false pretences amid sot be
supported, and he had therefore to apply for the Mechem of
the recognisance., of the witnesses for the prosecution.
Mr. Robinson, who appeared for the defendant, said that
he stated now what ha had done all along, that be had merely
bees an innocent agent la obtaining the goods of the prose-
cutors, and that be had not reads use of soy Wee pretence.
The Recorder then made the order as preyed by the learned
counsel.
