day afternoon, when the husband of the fienuk who was en-
trusted with the care of the presses, Was in dye room, and heard
a gentle tap at the door; and on opening A, a man, who had
formerly been employed to keep the lock*, &c. about Bukitts-
kam-house in repair, presented himself with a key half bidden
by the paint of his hand, and said he was looking for a bell-
banger. The aman was challenged with having a key ir. his
• land, which he denied ; but afterwards pelted one out of his
pocket, which the witness believed to be much larger in size
'than the one he bad in his hand.
it appeared, that-there hail been no injury done to the locks
on. the several presses; and that no one could have committed
the robbery without being well acquainted with the premise..
According to the statement of Mr. Hanson, locksmith to the
Royal Family, the locks could have been opened only by a dup-
licate or a skeleton key, and a double key. could not have been
made without taking off the lock. In either case none but a,
skilful lockstn.in could have opened the locks, as they are of the
best kind. Mt-. Hanson also stated, that the prisoner had been
• abort eight months in his employ, and he discharged him as
an indolent drunken man, some time since. When in Mr.
Hanson's service, the prisoner was constantly employed in
Buckingham-house; but since he had been discharged, be had
no pretence for going there.
According to the statement of Sir W. PARSONS, half n dozen
men coulai not have carried away the stolen property. The
prisoner as. remanded, and a warrant was Issued to search-Ms
premises; tv auseeetti. wits elso issued against another man sus-
pected, who had teen discharged from Mr. Hanson's service
about the same time as the prisoner, and who had been seen
about the house.

been allowed to excel them all, particularly in his transactions
with one Davison and others, and -who is alike notorious at
