The trial of /Ti/son excited much attention, in
consequence of the curious and ingenious instrument
produced in Court, that perforated the shutter 'of
Me Workhouse,, 'when broke into and robbed tome
time ago, which Instrument was found next ppm-
-Mg in Wilson's possession, and from- the testimony
given in Court by competent judges, was,the identi-
cal tool that made such bole. „

The Learned Judge, in giving his charge to the
Jury, declared' himself perfedly satisfied, that if a
thouSapd instruments were made, unless this iden-
tical tool, or the. part of the shutter also produCed,
Was in the hands of the maker of:, such instrument,
it was altogether impossible for any one to be made
so nicely.carre& as the one produced, so as to make
the same sired hole to less than an hair's breadth.
The Counsel for the Prisoner, finding by the evi-
dence, given in 'Court, their Client likely to be con-
viEted, endeavoitred' to avail themselves for his ad-
vantage, of a point of law ; contending, that the
office from which the property was stolen, -was not
part- of the dwelling-house of G. Hinhliffe, as
stated in the Indiament, which opinion was opposed
by-the Counsel' fin;the Prosecution, on the ground,
that G. Hinchliffe paid the taxes for such premises' :
that he had at all times free access to this room," to
transa& his own' private business in, if he thought-
proper.
The Judge then declared, he should consult some
authorities on the subject, and if they did not prove
the point satisfaaorily,to his own mind, he should
take the opinion 'of the Twalve Judges.
'But the sentence_ol. death pronounced upon_ the
Prisoner, subsequent to -his trial, -is convincing.
prod he was.fully.satisfied as to tire burglary being
corredly stated-in the indidment.
