more money ; finding, however, that they could •
not succeed, they bound him hand and foot with a
clothes line, and in that state left him. About seven
o'clock in the morning, the prosecutor succeeded in
releasing himself, and immediately gave an alarm. About
a fortnight afterwards, the prisoners were apprehended
at Grays, in Kent, and were distinctly identified by the
prosecutor. The stolen watch was discovered at a sil-
versmith's at 'Dartford, to whom it had been sold a clay or
two after the robbery ; and the other articles were
pledged at a pawnbroker's in the same town, but neither
the silversmith nor the pawnbroker would swear to the
identity of the prisoners. Considerable amusemennt was
created in the Court by the policeman's narrative of the
mode in which the prisoners were presented before the
prosecutor in order to be identified. The poor old man was
first put to bed, and the prisoners were then placed in
the positions and attitudes described by him as attract-
ing his particular attention when the robbers were in
the room, and he then declared his perfect satisfaction
that they were two of the men.
Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the Jury on behalf of the
prisoners, and commented in very strong terms upon the
course adopted by the policeman as a means of identi-
fying the prisoners ; and suggested that the prosecutor,
who was so very old, had been practised upon by the
tableaux-vivant described by the policeman, and induced
to believe that the prisoners were the actual robbers.
The LEARNED JUDGE summed up at considerable
length, and observed that all the ingredients necessary
to constitute a burglary had been clearly proved, and the
whole case turned upon the -identity of the prisoners.
lie thought that very unfair means had been resorted to
for t:.• purpose of identifying the prisoners. It was a
practice neither warranted by precedent or principle, and
he hoped such an exhibition would never occur again.
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty against both prisoners, and
The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced them to be severally
transported for the term of ten years.
