BERESHIRE ASSIZES.

lifitd.l—The nettt day, Monday, I was angling in
the afternoon about four o'clock. I obserifed"fs,,
men peas. I am sure Smith was on•, mod I hare ha
doubt Leonard was the other. Haring herd of
the robbery. I determined to watch them. I fol.
lowed after them with lily line iu my hand, we.
atonally casting it into the water, that they might
think I was only changing my phiee of fishing. I
watched them to see it they went near the !Alice
where I found the things the day before, and they
did so.

James Banister—l am a grocer at Egham. I
went with Andrews on Monday, and found the pa-
rasol produced in the field, which I carried to Lord
Ashbrook. On the night of the same day I went
into the road between Egham and Staines, on the
seine errand of discovery with others. Abont
yen o'clock we went towards a rick of hay *inch
was • short distance from the road-side, mitil per-
ceiving something close under the rick like a lump
of hay ; I hit it. It was Leonard. I struck again
at another lump, which turned out to be Smith.
Upon interrogating them, they denied having any
bundle. They said they had come down from ion-
.ton on the trump. One of our party, Felton, spin(
ed the rick at my desire, and he found tiro clocks
wrapped up separately, .and another in his Lord-
ship's Flushing coat. We• took them to the King's
Head, Egham, to search them. Leonard pot his
hand in his pocket, and pulled out au oruammi.
1 said, " Why this belongs to the clock?" Here.
plied, " Yes, I will show •ou the way to put it on."
We took them to Lord Ashbtook's, who idetit tied
the property as his. Neat day Leonard said I.
that one of the handkerchiefs which tied up the
clocks was his.

George Felton corroborated the last aitoesr, and
produced the clucks found undcr the rick.

Lord Ashbrook said, they were worth at :east 50/.
It would co►t 101. to•regild one of them.
John Chapman corroborated Banister and Felton.
When he took Smith to the King's Head, he aid
he had never beta in the neighbourhood before, mod
that he had slept at Whitechapel the 'light before.
The Prisoners being called upon for their de-
fence—

Leocard said, they came down from London to
get employment in putting up booths for the Eg.
ham races. TINt having no means of procuring
better accommodation, they slept antler a hay-nck;
and on Saturday morning, as they were going to-
wards the race-ground, they found a bundle in a
hedge, containing the property then upon the table ;
that not knowing to whom they belonged, they con-
cealed it among some osiers. That us no bills had
been distributed, and no reward offered fur the re.
cosery of the proprrty, they returned to London,
but fearing that the clocks would be spoiled in the
osier beds, they went down again to Egtisni on the
Monday to remove them, when they heard of the
robbery, and ,fearing that they might be taken up
on suspicion, they concealed themselves in the place
where they were taken. The other Prisouer can.
curred in this statement.

The Jury, without hesitation, returotd a veldiet
of Guilty.

When his Lordship was passing sentence of depth
noon them, they again declared they never were in
Viscount Ashbrook's house, till they were taken
there in custody.

Baron GAIROW, in his address to the Grand
Jury at the late Worcester Ass•ses, alluding to the
case of a young woman charged with the murder of
her illegitimate child, sand—
“ It was a matter aexultaiion to him that the emwradmiss
which had Coetnerly bees resorted to in such casts, to martins
the fact whether the child was bona alive (be alluded to the
placing of the lungs in water, Led, if they dossed, it being
held as a proof that Ike child was born alive), was by the ad.
sauce of science exploded ; Robin could be more fallstiouo
than each s test, asJ it was a matter of mud, sitisfaciiiss to
him, that it was auw universally abandoned."
At the last Carlisle Assizes a bill of indictment
was preferred before the Grain' Jury swims
