CRIMINAL COURT-YESTERDAY.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BompAs—Has
been li%ing under the care of Lee, the officer. Had the
depositions real over to her by Mr. Humphreys, about a
week ago, and corrected a mistake in them. They
were read so rapidly by the clerk at the police-office,
that she could not understand them.
Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—She was exa-
mined two or three times at Lambeth-street. Lee
ne%er told her about the mistake. It was read over to
her, because the time was so long that she thought she
should forget—she was afraid that something, might
have slipped her memory, and therefore bad the depo-
sition read over to her. Had no conversation with
the
officers about this matter, except when she asked for
the depositions to be read over to her ; was not present
at the office when Moss gave his evidence.
George Sheen is a carman, was employed on 26th
March last by Mrs. Levi to remove things from Moss's
house in New-street to Mansel-street in a truck ; the
deal box produced is one of the boxes he moved. He
had a person to assist him, who helped him to lift that
box into the truck ; Mrs. Levi told him he was to be
careful of it ; it was rather heavy.
George Reid is a tailor. The house No. 12 New-
street, where Moss lived, belongs to witness. On the
25th March Moss owed two quarters' rent; he left the

had something very weighty with him. He was coming
from the Commercial-road. The parcel was so heavy
he could scarcely get it up the steps. He went with it
into the house. Missed the plate off his door on the
following morning. About five on Tuesday evening two
men went with a truck, and took away some things ;
one of the boxes removed was corded, and appeared very
heavy. The box resembled the one produced.

THE GOLD DUST ROBBERY.
Jane Bradley lived as servant with Moss on March
25 last. He usually went out about eight o'clock in
the morning in his working clothes ; but on the morn-
ing in question he went out in his best clothes. He
usually, when he returned home, came with a double
knock, but on that morning came to the door with a
single knock, and her mistress opened the door. He
then went out again, and returned about eight o'clock,
after which he went to a public-house. After he had
been gone, about eight o'clock Ellis Caspar knocked at
the door, and witness let him in. He asked for Moss,
and witness went and fetched Moss to him. Witness
left the house about eleven that night. and returned the
next morning about half--past six. It is part of her
duty to light the fire, but she found the fire alight in
the back parlour that morning, and it looked as though
it had been burning some time. There were white
askes. She did not see Caspar there then. She
examined the ashes, and it appeared to her as
though wood had been burning. One of the hobs
was all over red sealing wax, and there were some
nails under the grate, and some little lumps that
looked like glass. Her master was in bed, and her
mistress went out directly witness came in. She had a
bundle and basket with her. On the night of the 25th
there was a brass-plate with her master's name on the
door. The plate had been removed the morning of the
26th. Moss did not go out on the Tuesday until the
afternoon. Mrs. Levi came there in the morning
before he went out, and a truck came and took things
from New-street to Mansel-street. Moss went
away that night—the others on the Wednesday.
Mrs. Moss returned about two o'clock ; had her din-
ner, went out, and returned about five. On the Wed-
nesday morning a van came and took away the rest of
the things. Witness remained all night on the Tues-
day, helping them to pack up. Her 'mister had a
daughter named Rossetta, who kept her clothes in a
deal box. On her return on Tuesday morning she
found the clothes which had been usually kept
in the box had been removed to a drawer—and
the box was underneath the bed Moss slept in ;
the box was tied up with a egad. Witness tried to lift
it, but could not, it was so heavy. She remembers the
box being taken away by a carman in a truck. Mr.
Reid was the landlord of the house in New-street. Mrs.
Moss gave vvitneF-s five sovereigns, which she gave by
her directions to Mr. Reid. Thinks it was for a quar-
ter's rent. Wi:ness went to Mansel-street after the
truck went away. Went on the Wednesday. Moss
Isft on the Wednesday night he had been in Mansel-
street all day. Knows Isaac Davis. He assisted in
Packing on the Wednesday morning. Went to tha
lodging hi Mansel-street on Thursday morning about
seven ; saw Moss there ; opened the door to Ellis
Caspar at a quarter to eight. He asked for Moss,
who went and spoke to him just in the passage. They
did not speak long. Ellis Caspar ran down stairs, and
Moss went out a few minutes after ; he did not return
to breakfast. Witness was not permitted to leave the
house from that Thursday to the Saturday—she slept
there, which was not usual. On the Sunday before
the robbery, old Caspar came to the house in New-
street about dinner time, and stayed half an hour. Had
frequently seen him there before that. On the Satur-
day after the rubbery old Caspar came to Mansel-street
about dinner-time—about one o'clock. Her mistress
sent her out of the room when he came. Moss was not
et home. 'fhl y occupied two rooms and a little dress-
ing-room in Manse!-street. The deal box was put into
the little room. Mess slept in the next room to the
dressing room on the night in question. Mrs. Levi
lives in Petticoat-lane, and Davis's sister lives next
door.
