ran up stain to light a Bre. 0t his rent, a, which WAS too
about a Inmate nod a hale, the two men were gone. Three
parts of the ale were left in one of the glinses, and it small
(yummy of the beer remained in the other. W hen ait uess
left the tap•iiioni to light the e, the basket was iu the oar,
but he ilia not think of looking, for it mail the guard Caine
to ask fir it.

Jacob Gam!deb, a helper in theyartl, said he was in the
tap-room at the same time the catch arrived. 'Three men,
named Reload, Titmouse, and Charlton, who were well-
known to the liouwi, were in tire tap-room. '1 hey sat in a
box firma which they could nut see the bar. Two other
men, who were strangers to a lilies', sat in a box that had h
command of the hat, and a great rout was spread upon the
table at which they sat. Oue of these men turned round to
I aft into the hot in which they sat, and warn meeting his
eye turned qwickly away. The other handed a newspaper
to Charlton, who sat in the npro,ite bor. Mrs. Vids was
skimming the pot at the time. Within it couple of minutes
after, the newspaper, which had not been asked for. was
given to Charlton. Witness heard that the basket hail been
