of their owa gangs: that theft was Witten ditorn
but oh, common communion, namely. * communion
of guilt and treachery; and that consecrently they
owed it to themselves and to their families, if not
to the laws, to quit all each illegal associations.
The evidence of the approver was confirmed, his
Lordship observed, by the Prisoners' own act., and
by their being possessed of the property which had
been stolen. That property which they had wrested
from peaceful and inoffensive subjects was found in
the Prisoner Corbett's house, at the time when
Burke was there, a circumstance which clearly
proved they were accomplices in the plunder. Fur-
ther. it appeared from the testimony of one of the
witnesses for the defence. whom he was justified in
saying the Jury bad disbelieved, that the secreting
of the property in question was attempted to be pot
upon another person; thus adding to the crime of
despoiling another of hie property, with arms in
their hands, the disgraceful crime of perjury. If
the Jury hsd doubts respecting the Prisoner.' guilt.
his Lordship had told them to give the Prisoners
the benefit of that doubt, if it were real and con-
scientious ; and if they did, on their oaths,
conceive any such doubt. had they a right to
call on others to flinch from the discharge
of their duty, upon grounds which they themselves
could dot act open T Under all the circumstances,
though he should certainly transmit the recommen-

solemnly besought the Prisoners, in the name of
the Almighty God, to reflect on their awful situa-

crimes against their fellow man. It was, his Lord-
ship said, his duty to tell them they had very little
hopes of mercy in this world, but he trusted they
would yet seek sod obtain mercy from the throne
of all mercy and goodness. They should call to
their aid the Ministers of religion, and from whose
hands. and mouths, and learning, they would find
a solace, and receive a preparation that would en-
able them to meet their approaching fate. He in.
plored them to ask forgiveness and pardon, in the
sincerity of their hearts, from the Almighty God,
for their transgressions in this world; and as it was
his duty again to tell them not to look at what had
occurred, as affording the slightest hope for their
obtaining pardon or mercy here, they should not
mispeud the short time they had yet to live, but en.
deavour to make their peace with an offended God,
so as that they may not be hurried into eternity on.
