ditiors to which she void she knew nothing of the elteace.
she would not know the men that weal into Mr. Miller's

Mr. Harmer's clerk said, he auderstieed that the *widest*
of the eri teems had been taken o• oath, be therefore sup.

sun was in it; Jobn Young atupped io the warehouser, sad

Mr. Harmer's clerk submitted to the Aldeimaa that the
whimsies ought to be discharged oat of custody, as there
was no evirleace against them; their being exsanioed on oath,
their evidence might be good against others, but could toot
be so against themselves. It was in the power of the Alder-
man to bind them over in their own recognisance, to appear
again, if it should be aecessery to have their farther evidence.
Alderman Thompson observed, that be was of opinion
that they knew more of the larceny titan they bad divulged,
and lie doubted much that the principab were not unkrowa
to them. He however did sot think be would be justified in
detaining them ; at the same time they would go away very
far from his considering them perfectly i of the tar.
ceny. He was sorry 10 bare been obliged to come to that
opinion.

The witnesses were discharged, and the robbery still con-
tinues to be eeveloped with mystery.
