Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Parry prosecuted, and Mr.
Iluddlestone defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the statement of The Learned Coun-
sel, that between the night of Thursday, the Bth of Feb-
ruary, and the following evening, the vestry-rooms of
the above-named parish were broken open or entered by
some one, and property to the above amount stolen from
the place in which it had been deposited, and the cir-
cumstances attending the robbery were enveloped in a
considerable deal of mystery. One thing, however, was
very certain, the affair if not planned and partly effected
by some one connected with the place, the thief or
thieves had not only made themselves well acquainted
with the place, and altio with the custom adopted by the
parochial authorities who, as usual, had only placed
the money there a very short time before it was
abstracted, and on the day following were to have paid it
away for the current expense. Upon the discovery of
the robbery the following morning, an examination of
the place was made by the police, and the result was a
supposition that the parties who committed the robbery
either had cr wished it to be believed that they had
escaped from a window overlooking the main road;
and, upon inquiry, it was discovered that upon the
ground, in the immediate vicinity of the window, a pair
of carpet slippers, a dark lantern, and some housebreak.
ing implements, had been found on the morning follow-
ing the robbery. Still no clue could be obtained, and all
traces were lost, the thieves having only taken the
money, and but for the following circumstance nothing
further would have been discovered:—ln the course of
some inquiries that were being made about a woman
since convicted for attempting to steal a banker's parcel
from the Cross Keys, St. Joh-street, the prisoner, who
is a well-known character, was found in Guy's Hospital
with a fractured thigh, having been admitted on tee
morning of the robbery, and the police having obtained
evidence as to how he came there, he was, as soon as
sufficiently recovered, taken before the magistrate, and,
after several remands, sent for trial.
Evidence was then given to prove the robbery, the
finding of the implements alluded to, and the position of
the window near where the prisoner was found pre-
viously to his admission to the hospital.
The facts of the case as detailed in evidence, have
already appeared.
Mr. HIIDDLESTONE contended that the case was only
one of suspicion against his client.
The COMMON SERGEANT Carefully reviewed the whole
of the evidence, and said it was certainly one of strong
suspicion, and rendered more so by the prisoner not at-
tempting to show who he was. It was not at all impro-
bable that he had dispossessed himself of the money when
in the Blackfriars-road. At least he might have called
evidence to show that was not the case.
The jury found him Guilty.
The CommoN SERGEANT then sentenced the prisoner
to ten years' transportation.
