nesday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, the two prisoners Furbyi,;i:
Whitton called at the house in a gig, and ordered dinner.
dinner they drank some grog, and departed, as they said, a
Egham Races. About half-past Bin the evening Furby I:es
M/ hitton, in their gig, and the other three prisoners, tege
with a man named White, who will be mentioned herea,ew" t
in two other gigs, drove up to the door together, and ,:„1,
into the parlour, and called for different kinds of re/la-T.
ment. They were very merry, sang several songs, and
Curtis remarked that they were particularly noisy. They se'7o.
also to know each other. Soon after 9 o'clock they all got 0;
if by concert, and having called their gigs, they drove teo,
wards town. They had not been gone more than ten irdnu
• foul'
when Mrs. Curtis having occasion to gq up stairs% exy
that her chamber-door had been broken open, ana ot
thing within the room ransacked. The bureau and l
places of deposit had been forced open, and plundered of
..iatr :
property mentioned above. Dlr. Curtis went to the s;s,
Constable of Heston, who, with Staines, a Bow-street lifee,
patrol, galloped off towards London. At Kensington, roe
they came up with the three gigs, stopped them, and took ~tb
prisoners, and the sixth man, White, who was in the gig,l'd
Lester, and had a very large box coat on, into the Maginot
Granby public-house to search them. While they were deaf,
this, White contrived to escape. No' part of the stolen 1/11
perty was found upon either of the prisoners. While the soli. ••
was going on, an old gentleman standing near the door no: ,
watch lying in the street. This watch was shewn to Mr•..,,aeo •
tis, but he could not swear to it as being one of thoseof
from his house. Lester, when taxed with having been ones
the party at the White Bear, positively denied it, and swilredo
never was in the house in his life. Mr. Curtis and hht
however, were both positive as to his identity.
Furby and Whitton were well known at the house, they
ing dined and slept there several times.
The prisoners were interrogated, and each gig party dealt;
the others to be total strangers to them. Furby, who is
spectable looking man, was rather indignant in his p
lions of innocence, and complained bitterly of the incoa`,,,t4
ence he had been put to. He asked if bail would be Tip,
and was told not at present. They were all remanded
morrow.
