Cress-examined: I recollect Tester being married in 1865.
I cannot say whether it took place before or after the rob-
bery. The clerks, at this time used to have purees to tread

the steam-boat in connexion with the tidal train which
Jest arrived. They remained, I believe, until the beet hal
sailed, end they then left the pier and walked towards the

Met I cannot swear positively to the pennon of either of them.
They both slept at my house and went away in the morning,
and I directed them the read to Folkestone by the cliff side.
Robert Clark, waiter at the Dover Castle Hotel, Dover,
said : I smoother in the early pert of May, 1865, two men
were at the hotel. They went away by the uprose train,
and before they left they sent me out for some brandy and
dram. They left about half-past one in the moaning and
took their carpet bags with them.
Matthew Dickinson, a police-constable, stationed at the
London-Midge terminus, stated that be was on duty as porter
on the morning of the robbery, and he observed that there
were not more than four pre ngera by the train. Two men
alighted from one carriage, and ho observed that the man
who that got out had a carpet-bag in hie band, and wee •
large cape. The two men walked away together down the
platform, and ho did not Me What beeme of them. Ha
(vitamin.) inquired if they wanted a cab, and they declined
having one. He could not speak to the persons of either at
the men, but one was taller then the other. There were two
policemen at the gate, and their attention would be called to
every that left the station, as they would have to book
its of destination.
a • Woodhonee. another porter, who was on they
at Louden-bridge on the morning after the robbery, gave
evidence of a similar ehesseter. He was nubble to identify
either Pierce or Agar; but he proved that no luggage cams
by the train on that morning.
depheis Jones. a guard in the servi..e of the company, said
that in April, 1866, he was guard of the 7.30 train from Dover,
and continued so till May. The 7.30 Lein was due at Rad-
iant at 9.56. The 8.30 train from London was due there at
9.4. Upon one occasion he remembered seeing Teeter ai
Redhill. It wag before he heard of the gold robbmy. Ha

due carriage. The witness then stated that ho had

Teeter with the black beg. He was not asked the question,
and, therefore, be did not ay anything upon the subject.
He believed that Teeter was what is railed • relieving station•
masteeand he would take the piece of any station-roaster who
was Aunt. It was not at all an unusual eireameanee for •
relieving station-master to carry a carpet-bag with him and
there was nothing at all in the conduct of 'Tester on this oc-
casion that excited observation.
Re-examined: He did not remember to have ever sate
Teeter at Redhill before this occasion with a black bag. Ho
was only quatiesed about Pierce, and nothing watt said
about Teeter.
