7HE BURGLARY IN DEBBYSHIRE•

---
CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH, TUESDAY.
Yesterday (Monday) Matthew Depledge was
brought before Capt. Nield and Mr. Slack, olaarged
with being concerned in the burglary on the pre-
mises of Mr. Norman, of Whaley-bridge.
Mrs. Norman, in reply to questions put by Mr.-
Fox, the chief constable, said the prisoner was about
the size of the man who stood by the window, and
he wore a velveteen coat. The " jemmy" pro-
duced was like the one used by the man who was
in the room; it had something on the end, but she
could not say it was a ring. She did not think the
prisoner Matthew Depledge was the man she saw-
in the room. He was not so tall. He resembled
one of the men witness saw outside of the window,
who had on a velveteen coat. Witness was in the
habit of having a fire in her bedroom, and there
was a fire in it on the night of the burglary. It
had gone out, however, at the time. Witness heard
the noise downstairs. Left her infant in bed with
her husband, first having placed a chair against the
bed, to keep the child safe. Should have awakened
her husband if she had thought anyone was in the
house, It was her general rule to take pistols down-
stairs with her in the night when she bad occasion
to get up or felt alarmed. The revolver was always
loaded, also two double-barrelled pistols as well.
From the time she heard the noise in the
house she had to partly dress herself and
lay her child safe, which occupied about
five minutes. The man in the room held a candle
in his left hand, and it went out when witness fired
but she could then see everything by the moonlight.
Saw the jemmy in his hand, and also the two men
standing outside the window, by the light of the
candle, as it was burning only one yard from thew.
NV hen the robbers left the window witness ran to it
to see what direction they took, which was towards
Whaley. She then ran upstairs and told her hus'
band. Scarcely a minute elapsed from the time they
drew the man through the window till she went to
look after them. Knew the man who was between
the other two to be the man who was in the rootn
by the handkerchief he wore, but could not sal
whether or not he was walking by himself or stir
ported by the other two. Did not hear any con-
versation between the men as they went off. Wit-
ness and her husband came downstairs together
after the men had gone. When witness fired the
pistol she was holding the door open with her left
arm and the side of her left foot. The first time the
cap missed fire; the second time, in order to secure
a steady aim, she rested the revolver on her lel
wrist, and fired. The ball might have passe'
through the window from the place she fired at. Oil
Tuesday evening, before the burglary, at 5 o'cloat
she saw a man come up to the window and look ie.
He looked downwards. Witness could not tell laihl
again. When the servant maid went to close the
shutters the same evening, she told Witness there
was was something which prevented them prope
closing. Witness said, " Never mind ; we must
have them repaired to-morrow." A stone was after
°
wards found in the socket in the window-sill, where
the shutters bolted, and this prevented their closing'
Henry Hilton, detective inspector, said that fro
information received on the 21st of November ir
proceeded to Macclesfield, and went to a house In
Windmill-row, where he found the prisoner,
Matthew Depledge, and asked him when he Whaleyo'
at Whaley. He replied, " I have not been to
since a week last Sunday." Witness then told him
he must consider himself his prisoner, as answer:
ing to the description of the man who, with tv.irf
others, broke into Mr. Norman's house. He este,
"I don't know a Mr. Norman." Witness then
searched the house and found the jemmy, with 6
ring at the end, now produced. On comparing the
marks made on the shutter and the cupboard wit
the jemmy, he found that they corresponded. Kr
took the prisoner on the following morning to
Macclesfield lock-up. When conveyhig the prisoner,
to Whaley, he said, " Me and Jem Stanny and 13i!'
Cope slept in Whaley on Sunday night, and the foie
lowing morning we left for Macclesfield. The heath
day we all three went to Allmock-moore for hea!'n_
for making brooms, and we stayed there until tn 7)
following Thursday, when Cope left us to goner
Manchester, and we went to Macclesfield." Pr
told the detective that he would find Cope at Da
ar;
cheater selling brooms; he did not know Whe.„,
Stanny was, as there was a warrant out against 13'
for poaching.
Superintendent Shaw said that the prisoner, gut),
being brought to the lock-up, had told him that 0,
was in Whaley on the Monday night and the Thtl day
day night, but not on the Tuesday or Wednes"
night.
The prisoner was then remanded.
