CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant)
THE HILL ROBBERRT.

(Continued from Saturday's Express.)
Mr Gifford, when the case for the defence was con-
cluded, made a most able reply on behalf of the prosecution,
and his speech was nut concluded mad nearly now o'clock
at night.
The Common Serjesat then addressed the jury, and said
that if they wished to go on at that late hour, be was
ready to do so, but he at the same time reminded them
that it must necessarily take him a considerable time to
I sum up, and that, as it was Saturday night, if they did not
very speedily agree, he could not take the verdict after 12
o'clock, and he ou=esteid that it would perhaps be as well
to adjourn at once.
The foreman of the jury, after consulting with his col-
leagues, said they would rather go on with the case, and
they did not think they should be very long deliberating
upon it.
The Common Ser;eunt, upon this intimation from the
jury, at once proceeded to sum up, placing in a most clear
and concise manner all the important poiuts in the evidence
that bad been adduced in support of the prosecution and
for the defence. _

he jury retired at eleven o'clock to consider their ver-
dict, and in about half-an-hour they returned into court, and
gave • verdict of Noe Guilty in the cases of Newton, Crane,
and Barker, and convicted Rebook upon the count charging
him with feloniously receiving the property knowing it to
hare been stolen. They at the same time recommended
him to merry on account of his previous good character.
All the prisoners seemed quite overcome when the vim.
act was delivered, and Newton in particular cried most
bitterly. Rebook was also very much affected, and he ex.
claimed in an excited manner ; " Dv -- I am innocent."
After Newton, Crane, and Haler, had been removed,
Delimit was called up for judgment, and he then addressed the
court and declared that he was entirely innocent in the
transaction, and that Agg had placed the silk in his posaes
Ilion as security for the sum of 1100 f. which he had lent him,
and that he took the silk away without his knowledge.
He raid that when he found that it was going to Derby
he thought that Agg was trying to shuffle him, and be went
down to Derby in order that he might get his money back,
and lie asked hie brother-in-law to accompany him. He
added that Agg and Hunter were trying to got away from
them, but they watched them, and at six o'clock in the
evening Agg gave him the three 1001. Dotes, and he saw no
more of him. He also mid that not being able to read or
write be was still fearful that Agg was deceiving him, and
this was the rcewu ho questioned Mr. Rowleithasu, the
landlord of the public-house, whether the notes were
genuine. •
The Common Serjeant, in passing sentence. said that if
the statement made by the prisoner wee true, he should
have male it to the police at first, aml then inquiries might
have been made, and pOSllbly he would not have been placed
in his present positron. Instead of this, however, it was
clear that he had told • great many falsehoods, and upon all
the facts, be quite concurred in the verdict, awl did not see
bow the jury could have returned any other. It vas a very
serious offence, committed with great ingenuity and deli-
beration, end but for the recommendation to mercy he
should have paused a much more severe sentence than the oue
be was about to pronounce, *IAA woe that he be imprisoned
sad kept to bard labour for 1:4 months
At • quarter to 12 o'clock the court was adjourned to
Monday, July It.
