rolls of ribbon, 30 lengths of velvet, and other property,
belonging to Jonathan Gill, draper, at Bradford, on the Bth
of October, 1868. The cam had been 'emended from the

corresponding to the numbers on an Meows in Mr. Gill's
poeseesion. For a considerable time no clue could be
found to the perpetrators of the robbery ; bat on the 13th

ribbon (produced), since recognised by Mr. Gill as Ms pro-
mo,. The velvet bore the private mark of Mr. Ben. Johnson,
and the numbers on the rolls of ribbon corresponded with those
on the invoice,
William Harrison, a policiecoostable of Bradford, on Fri-
day the 13th of May, searched the home of the prisoner
Reuben Firth, and round • pieoe of satin and • piece of ailk
also recognised by Mr Gill so his property. In the

caps,
r having been a portion of the stolen property.
Mace the drat investigation before the magistrates, Mary
Anne Sharpe, it is supposed, had been "spirited sway" by
the prisoner's friends, es she did not answer to her name on
the trial. Her deposition, hoe ever, was put in, from which
it appeared she wee to have bees married to the primmer
Firth; that about a fortnight after the robbery at Mr. Gill's
Firth had brought the things to her hoses. She asked him
hew IM berme possessed of them, and he said he had pur-
chased them.
Betty Briggs said the articles found in her immersion bad
been given to her by the other prisoner, Hiram Holmes, bar
sweetheart, a few days after the robbery.
There being no proof of the Retail robbery, the Jere famed
the prisoners guilty of receiving with a guilty knowledge;
sod the Chairman sentenced Firth to eighteen and Holmes
to seventeen months' bard laborer.
