Casley—Show me the two rings identified by Mr.

Scotty—Did you not take the watch you speak of out of
my pocket ?
Brennan—No, certainly not. • I recollect that you made
a very desperate effort to strangle me before I could get
you to the station.
Inspector Brennan then left the court, when Scotty in-
stantly said, "My lord, you said the witnesses were not to
leave the court. Brennan has just gone to give the other
officers the tip."
Inspector Brennan immediately returned to the court,
but
Scotty said, " Ah, it's too late ; he's done it. You don't
know how clever he is, my lord. (Laughter.)
Casley—Yes, he's quite up to everything. (Laughter.)
Constable Ranger—l produce two screw augurs. I
found them at 142, Whitechapel-road. Geoffrey said the
tools were his, as he was a carpenter. I have fitted the
small augur into the marks on Mr. Johnson's door, and
found it fit exactly. I also found a dark-lanthern and a
life-preserver. The skeleton keys were found in the same
house by a sergeant of the K Division of police.
John Gilby—l live at 26, Mount-street, Whitechapel. I

pairing- some locks. I saw Scotty there.
Witness was here asked to point him out, when he
Pointed out Casley, and then Brewerton. The witness
seemed very undecided in his answers.
Mr. Lewis said he thought he had better withdraw the
evidence of the witness.

Casley—l think I've a right to ask him a question before
New goes.gate?—Why did you not identify me yesterday in
Witness—l said I thought I had seen your face before.
Casley—l've seen Mr. Walker's face before, but that is
no reason why I should commit the robbery. Go down,
you'd swear any man's life away.
James Wicks said—l reside at Hale-street, New North-
road. I know the prisoner Scotty. I called at his house,
7, Cambridge-street, Hackney-road, in July last. I went
into his room. I saw a quantity of jewellery on the
table. I saw a diamond brooch there. He afterwards
called upon me, and offered some jewellery for mle,
and I purchased two pairs of earrings. I gave
him 10s. for one pair, and £2 for the other. One pair I
kept, and the other I sold then to a person named Bennett.
I used to have a beer-shop, and as ho came in and out I
became acquainted with him. I never knew him to be en-
gaged in any particular trade. The earrings (produced)
are those I purchased.
Mr. Lewis—The cost price of the two pairs would be
between £6 and £7.
Witness continued—Scotty afterwards called upon me
to put a stone in a pearl cross. I could not do it, and I
gave it him back. It was about an inch and a quarter in
length. I don't keep a beer shop now. I have worked as
a watch-balance maker all my life. I follow that trade
still. I have known Scotty for about five years.
Wm. B. Bennett—l keep the Lord Wellington, Univer-
sity-street, Tottenham-court-road. I bought the earrings
of the last witness some time ago for £2 10s. I gave them
to Mr. Johnson this morning.
Stephen Brown, of Liverpool-road—l know the prisoner
Scotty. He on one occasion, between July and August,
brought me some jewellery to purchase. I told him we did
not want anything, and therefore I did not look particularly
at it. One of the articles seemed to me to be a mourning
brooch. Some time after this he brought me some money
to mind (about £2O). He came the next morning and took
it away. I afterwards brought a pair of earrings for ss, I
did not know that they were worth £2. I thought they
were not good ones, so I did not give them away. They
have never been used.
Mrs. Charlotte Dear—My husband kept the Globe pub-
lichouse, Borough-road. 1 purchased three duplicates of
the female prisoner Hurley for a pair of earrings and two
brooches. One was pawned in the Borough-road, and the
others in the Whitechapel-road. I redeemed the article. I
have since given them to Inspector Potter. I gave 13s.
for the duplicates, and the property was pledged for £2 4s.
Mr. Johnson then identified the property produced, and
said the earrings sold for ss. were worth £4 ss. He further
stated that the property he had just identified was worth
about £4O, and that was all that had been recovered out
of the stock he had been robbed of, which amounted
to £4,000.
Casley—Do you swear to the wedding-ring ?
Mr. Johnson—l do.
Casley—Was it the only one made for you ?
Mr. Johnson—l swear that it is my property :it is pecu-,
Early heavy for a wedding-ring.
Casley—l can prove I purchased the ring in Bishopsgate-
street.
Mr. Johnson—With respect to the mourning-ring taken
from the prisoner Casley I can swear to it, from the fact
that I have had it in stock these seven years.
Application was then made to admit the married females
to bail .
The Lord Mayor—l shall not allow any of the prisoners
to bail.
The further hearing of the case was adjourned till Tues-
day next.
