CONVICTION FOR CONSPlRACY.—Yesterday'
John Lillywhite, farmer at Windsor, and Edward Alford At-
kins, farmer, in the parish of Eton, were charged before Sir
Thomas F. .Abrey, Bart., and a full Bench of Magistrates of
Buckinghamshire, at Quarter Sessions, at Aylesbury, with hav-
ing conspired to carry away Mary Wilder, Hannah Wilder, and
John Wilder, with the view of defeating the ends of justice, and
to prevent them from appearing as witnesses on the trill of John
Atkins, for rape, at the late Aylesbury Assizes. The prisoners
pleaded guilty to the indictment. The Bench retired for about
ten minutes, and directed that each of the prisoners should pay
to the Queen a fine of 401., and be imprisoned till the fine was
paid.
