day in the carpenter's shop. I told him Burnett had sent
him some money, but he said he did not want anything to de
with Burnett. He again asked me if I knew who Burnett
took 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 few
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 tbok, He said the paper
would soon be done. I saw Brewer frequently after this,
but be 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. I saw Brewer and told him what Burnett wanted.
He said I could please myself. I afterwards took aboiet 40
sheets or about that number. It consisted of " plain" fives
and tens. I gave 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 Burnett's, at Stratford. He told me about a
fortnight after that he was going up 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-
named 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 some
brandy and water. lie 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'clock, I met Brewer coming out of the mill
)ard, and on the first opportunity after he asked me when I
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.
e said he would write to the woman and 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 1 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 her
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 ho said " Ask Brewer to get me more fifties, and then
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 see
Brewer about getting some more paper. I went and saw
Brewer. On that occasion ho gave me a key and asked me if
I could get one made 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. When I
saw Burnett I gave him the key, and told him Brewer
said he was to get one made like it. He 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 Buneher was the person to whom he used to
take the paper. Buncher kept a butcher's 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.
