had been maid the (:rooked 11. ti publie•house in Kingaland-
rnalr, where she met Brown, I)ralse, and a man dressed as a
sailor. They continued there until near eleven o'ci.;:e., "'Len
they went to a house Tanernacle-square. Here she remain-
ed, a* did also Blown and the sailor, but Drake went away. It
wits very late when he returned, and lie afterwards accom-
panied her to her 0%11 door, where she saw am other persons,
one of whom was Vaughan. She enquired their imsiness, and
they informed her that her house had been broke open. The
rims pre lured the winkss had lent to Drake: on the Saturday
evening she went to Sadler's Wells, and she was also out one
other evening between Saturda... .tud Tuesday with Brown and
Drake.

Cruse csnmined by Mr. Au tutu.—Could not say how long be-
fore the robbery it was that she lent the rill; to Mr. Drake, she
knew no harm of him ; he was a common acquaintance of hers ;
she lived 1)014. in Plumber-street; she did not now go by the,
name of M'Donald she Aid not like to be known by :hat IDIOM
ailer so 11111d1 had been said in the newspapers ; she now goes
by the name of Charrington, the day befoie the robbery :,he
went by the name of Blond, but she never went by Ilie IMMO Of
Drake. The rim was in the box on the evening of the rob-
bers, but she could nut say the box was locked. Drake never
slept at her pause.
Here the case closed on the part of the Crown.
Mr. AIIABIN then rose, and on behalfof Vaughan en-
tered into an ingenious defence, in which he reviewed the
whole of the evidence, and contended that in no part was
the fact of a guilty participation made out against him,
except in the unconfirmed testimony and imputation of
Drake, and that the conduct pursued by hint was that of
a sense of public duty as an officer.
The other two prisoners had no Counsel, but they
each strongly addressed the Court.
Edward Christian, Chief Justice of the Isle of Ely,
was called on the part of Vaughan and gave him a good
character during the time he had known Lim as his servant
a fiat• years ►ince. _ _

Mr. GunNkn now rose to reply to the address of Mr.
Arabin, to which however the latter objected, upon the
ground of his not having called witnesses on the part of
the prisoners with regard to facts.
Mr. CitiaNEv replied, that he was at present acting
flit the Attorney General and in that situation he claimed
the right of addressing the Court. The latter having
admitted the authority, the learned Counsel briefly re-
plied to the defence that had been set up and maintained
that almost in every part of the evidence, the whole of
the prisoners had been proved to have been implicated in
the charge which was alledged against them. The con-
lession of Mackay, confirmed in every particular by the
other witnesses, was ctmclusive.

The Chairman then proceeded to sum up the evidence
which he did at great length, occasionally making such
observations thereon as appeared necessary in the case.
The Jury haying deliberated about three minutes, re-
turned a verdict—finding them all Guilty.
'lie trial lasted from ten in the morning until half=
past seven in the evening, and throughout the day the
Court and avenues leading thereto, were crowded to ex-

The Court, through their Chairman, having addressed
the prisoners on the enormity of their offinwe, sentenced
each of the prisoners to imprisonment finfre !pars in the
House of Correction; that they should then enter into
recognizance!' to keep the peace, themselves in 801., and
two sureties in 44)1. each, for three years.
The primers (particularly Vaughan) throughout the
trial, did not manifest much indifference. They were
protected from the popular indignation by an unusual
number of peace officers assembled on the occasion.
