When originally Ohargod the Best named primer said he
wee employed to carry the tea by a inane man, who pve
him a shilling for the job, whits Browning, who was a
pafmttr, winking en the premises at the time, denied all
kaowWp if the robbery, as well ea erhle Plow-prisconer.
It now appeared that Brownie, had been employed by
the contractor without my pretions Imowledge of his
ehanoter, end that the address given by him when appre-
hended wee Wes, every effort made by the police to dimmer
him ulna of abode having failed.
The Lad Keyor expressed his numbs that any respect-
able trademm re contractor should employ men upon such
jobs without fret knowing their characters,:
Thefornma mid that timidly no man were employed by
hie ens without proper knowledge of their antecedents, but
that since the strike in the building trades they had been
"Terito employ any ono they could meet with.

Williams, who at &et asserted that he had no bled resi-
dence, and therefore could give no oddness, now mitt he only
came op from Die., in Norfolk, to which be belonged, at
midnight of the night before the robbery ; but there was
reason to emcee that proof of connexion between the pri-
soners might be found by further inquiry. They were again
remanded. _ _

Thema Betray, • respectably deemed middle-aged man
wee charged with uttering several forged to:locate for thi
delivery of goods.
It appeared in evilsece that Maws. Renaud end Co.,
Ina-fonaders, of Thames-street, have a customer named A.
R. James, ea Ironmonger, residing at Oreseda-placie, Com-
mercial-toed Zest, to whose orders they bare been for seine
years past in the habit of supplyieg goods; and that on the
28th September lent the pneoner presented an order purport-
ing to be signed "A. R. James" for some nage mete end
shelf buckets to the summit of 18s., which goods were de-
livered to him in the belief that the order had been really emit
by Mr.Jamee. A fortnight later the prisonerwent Kele with •
wood order of • similar descripdon, whkh also was eructed
without suspicion ; bat the account helm sent In to Mr.
Jesus cm Monday leer, he called at Meson. Kennard's on
Tnieday, sew the orders and pronounced them
in In hissts. Mt hour or two later the ph-
'Ter presetel Idissall • third time, with two

of aka, of the seine bind, and wheii asked who
kid written them he said Mr. James's too. lie was then
given Into custodand when at the station-house said they
was written by Mr. James's father, while at a subsequent
time he said they were written by Mr. James's, heather.
Upon bMng marched two more orders were found in hie
pocket, one being upon Messrs. Kennard and the other upon
the Carron Company, and both signed "A. It. James." La
application at the warehottsth of the Carron Company led to
the disoovery that the prisoner had within a recent period
sumessfully presented several orders there, purpotting to
come from Mr. Junes, for yartons articles of ironmongery.

Mr. A. R. James now deposed that the orders prod"insid.
were all forgeries; and said be had formerly hid some mall
transactions with the prisoner' who was they in hostages r
in ironmonger hi the rim neighbourhood, but bad ion
become bankrupt.
The prisoner who had nothing to ry, yr remitted Sr
