three sheets of paper I took them to Burnett's place, and
give them to Mrs. Burnett in his presence. Burnett sitid
he should soon be able to get some money for the paper.,
He said he knew somebody who would print and pass them_
Burnett afterwards left Whitchurch, but after nine days

he returned, and said he had found some one to print the
paper, and that he wanted some more. I told him I should.
not get any more till he had done them he had got. Mrs..
Burnett after this pressed me to get more. Burnett said I
might as well get a few pieces more and go to London.
with him. I afterwards got five sheets of £l.O-note paper.
I took them to Burnett, and came up to London with him.

I met him at the Plough at Whitchurch. He asked me i f
I had got any paper. I told him I had. I gave it to him,

and then he and his wife and myself came up to London..
The next morning Burnett went out, and told Mrs. Burnett
and myself to meet him at a house in the Waterloo-road.
We did so. He told me he had borrowed some money, and

he asked me it I wanted any. Ha afterwards gave me a

sovereign. While we were at tea in a coffeeshop I asked
him what he was going to do with the paper. He said that
was all right, as he had taken it elsewhere. He said he
could not tell me where it was. We afterwards went tack
to Whitchurch after two days' stay in London. Afterwards I
met Burnett at the Three Horse Shoes, and I then asked
whether the paper was done, as he had told me he was go-

ing to have it printed. He said they had not got enough to
lay for the plate. I said I should not get any more,.
He said if what they had got was "tumbled" to he should

split upon me. I then told him I would see if I could get
some more. He asked me several times to get some more,
and I then got 10 sheets of 50's from the mill. I got
them from the machine. After I had got the paper and was
coming out I met Brewer. He asked me what I had got
in my pocket. I told him I had nothing, but he said
" You've got some paper." I said, " I have not, it's only
wrapper." He said, " You have; you had better take it
back—don't get yourself into trouble that way. I don't
want to do you harm, or I would tell the governor." I
said I would go and put it back when I went to the ma-
chine-room. Mr. Dusatury was-there, and I could not.
put it back. I left, and went down into the carpenter's
shop. Brewer came down to me about an hour after this,
and asked me if I had put the paper back. I told him I
had not had the chance to do so yet. He asked me who I
took the paper to, and whether I had got any before. I said I
had given Burnett three sheets of plain and five sheets of
£lO before. He asked me if I knew who Burnett took the
paper to, but I told him I did not know. That night I
took the paper I had got to Burnett, and he went to Lon-
don the next day. I told him that Brewer had seen
I had done. He said that would be all right, Brews
would not say anything about it. He would give Brewer
something and he would not split. I saw Burnett on his
return from London, who told me the matter would soon be
done, and gave me £3 to give Brewer. I saw him the next
day in the carpenter's shop. I told him Burnett had sent
him
some money, but he said he did not want anything to do
with Burnett. He again asked me if I knew who Burnett
teak the paper to. I told him I did not know, but that I
had heard Burnett say to his wife that " Fred" had not,
got the plate ready. Brewer asked me if it was Fred
Lancaster, but I told him I did not know, but that I would
ask Burnett when I next saw him. Brewer took the
three pounds. The same night I saw Burnett. I asked
him if the man's name was Lancaster to whom he had
taken the paper, but he refused to tell anything. I told
him I had given Brewer the money. I saw Brewer a fvw
days after that; he said he had been to London, and he
asked me if I had seen Burnett. He then said if Burnett
wanted any more paper I was to get it for him. The next
time I saw Burnett he wanted more. I got him 12 sheets
of "plain." He took the paper to London. After this I
saw Brewer. I told him I had got Burnett some more
paper, when he said, "Oh, that's all right." Burnett re-
turned from London. He then asked me if 1 wanted any
money. I said, " No, not particularly." He said " You
might as well have 55.," which 1 took. He said the paper
would soon be done. I. saw Brewer frequently after this,
but he did not say anything about it. I then thought
about going to London to get work, and I told Brewer
about it. He said it was the best thing I could do. I told
Burnett so, and he said I had letter get some paper
before I left the mill. I told him I would see if
I could.El saw Brewer and told him what Burnett wanted.
He said I eould please myself. I afterwards took about 4()
sheets or about that number. It consisted of " plain" fives
and tens. I give it all to Burnett. He left Whitchurch
for London on the Sunday, and I went on the Tuesday..
All the paper I took was from the machine, room. I went
to live at Bunten's, at Stratford. He told me about a
fortnight after that he was goingup to London from Strat •
ford about the paper. He told me in the course of conver-
sation it would soon be done. A few weeks after this Bur-
nett told me he was going back to Whitchurch. I told
him I did not know what I should do if he did. I re-
tarned to Whitchurch, and on the night that I arrived I
saw Brewer. Nothing happened the six weeks before last
Christmas. I was in the Prince Regent public-house in
Whitchurch when Brewer came in. He gave me somo
brandy and water. He asked me if I was going
home, as we could go together. On our road he asked if I
knew where Burnett had gone to, or if I could find him, as
he wanted me to take something to him. The next after-
noon, about 4 o'clook, I met Brewer coming out of the mill
yard, and on the first opportunity after he asked me when T
could go to London to take a parcel to Burnett. Some time.
after this I met Brewer and walked with him to Laver-
stock. On cur way Brewer said there would-be two parcels
to go to London, one to Burnett and one to another per-
son, a woman, whom I should meet at the Waterloo station.
lie said he would write to the womanand tell her to meet me.
I some time after got two parcels from Brewer. The par-
cel wrapped up in a newspaper was for the woman, and the
brown paper one for Burnett, but that if I did
not see Burnett I was to bring it back. I took
the arcels home, and as all had gone to bed I
opened both parcels, and found them to contain bank note
paper. The one I was to give the woman contained 100
sheets of " plain," while that for Burnett contained 110
sheets of £5, and 76 sheets of £lO. When I got to Lon-
don I met the woman as described, and gave 12,-)r
the parcel. She called a cab and drove off. The next
morning I went to Stratford to find Burnett. After I did
so we went to the theatre, where Mrs. Burnett said
to her husband, "Harry has brought you some
more paper." He asked how much, but I told
him I had not counted it. After he had looked
at it he said "Ask Brewer to get me more fifties, and them
I shall be able to get him plenty of money." I afterwards
left Burnett's house and went to Portsmouth. This part
of the proceedings took place in the year 1861. About
Easter, 1862, Burnett came to me at Portsmouth
and said he wanted me to go to Laverstock to sea,
Brewer about getting some more paper. I went and saw
Brewer. On that occasion he gave me a keyand asked me
if
I could get one mado like it. He afterwards gave me two
parcels, one f,,r the woman and one for Burnett. I came to
London and met the woman and gave her the parcel. Wheal
'saw Burnett I gave him the key, and told him Brewer
said he was to get one made like it. Ho said all right, I'll
do so. The night he got,the paper Burnett went out. The
next morning Burnett and I went out together. We went
to a place near Strutton Ground, where I waited
for about two hours for Burnett. After this I
went in a cab to King-street, Soho. After some time
Burnett said Buncher was the person to whom he used to
take the paper. Buncher kept a butcher-shop near
Strutton Ground. The witness then detailed a num-
ber of visits that he made to Laverstock, from whence
he used to bring parcels of notepaper from Brewer
to Burnett, in one of which he saw some rupee paper.
At the conclusion of this witness's examination the pri-
soners were remanded.
