BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.--ycsterclay, six
men, named William Foster, Charles Foster, and James Fos •
ter, alias Dusty (brothers), Thomas Balcombe, Jonathan
Tansett, and John Martin, alias Fuller, alias My Uncle,
were charged with burglariously breaking and entering
the premises of Samuel ilollands, of Bexhill, Sussex, and
stealing therefrom bsnktrs' notes, cash, &c., to the amount
of between 3001. and 4001, and with assaultingand woune-
it,g John Fucgles.

John Dinna;:e, John Frith, and Richard Ede, were
alto in custody on a elinge of being accessoriee., Edward
Ede,- a brother of the last-named prisoner, was also in
custody on the charge of being concerned in the robbery,
but had been admitted as an approver.
'l'bis burglary, being of a most daring character, and
one of a series of robberies which have lately been corn.
mitted in this county, created a west intense interest, and
the more so in consequence of its having been very gene
rally reported that Mr. Fuggles, who had been barba.
rously maltreated, had died from the effects of the inju.
ries received. This, however, happily turned out not to
be the case, although that gentleman is still guff:ring from
the effects of the ill usage.

The prisoners, who are desperate characters, were
brought up heavily boned with double fetters, and chained
to each other by the hands and feet. Edward Ede was
similarly ironed. _

Mr. Samuel Hollands, the prosecutor deposed that be-
tween one and two o'clock on the morning of the sth of
January. he was awoke by a light shining in his eyes, and
saw a man at the foot of his bed with a candle in one
hand, and what appeared to witness to be a large carving
knife in the other. The man said, " Your money we be
conic for—we be come for your- money, got out, be quick."
Witness immediately got out of lied and took his purse,
which contained between five and ten sovereigns and some
silver. When he got out of bed ho saw three other men
in the room standing on the opposite side of the
bed. The man who first spoke to him said,
" Where is the key of that ?" pointing to a bu-
reau, but before witness had time to answer him,
he took up a key from a table, and tried it, and observed,
" This is not it." He then took an iron instrument
from one of the other men and broke open the bureau,
and took out a bag containing frem 35 to 40 sovereigns
and three IN notes of the Hastings' Bank. He then
looked over the papers, and strewed them about the room.
The same man then took witness's coat, in which was a
pocket-book, containing ten Si. notes of the Hastings'
Bank, a cheque, drawn by Mr. Young, the solicitor, for
341. 18s. 5d., and a note of hand for 100/..

Tee witness positively identified the prisoner, William
Foster, as the man who had the candle and knife in his
hands, and Charles Foster as an other man in the room.
The CHAIRMAN asked the prisoners whether they wished
to put any questions to Mr. Hollands, but they replied in
the negative.
Mr. John Fuggles, a venerable-looking gentleman, and
who was still suffering from the brutal ill usage he had re•
ceived, deposed that he was on a visit to his friend, the
prosecutor. Hearing an extraordinary noise in Mr. Hol-
land's bedroom, he got up and went there, and found the
door wide open, and observed three men standing; one of
them instantly pointed a gun at his breast, about a foot
from him, without uttering a word, which be seized, and
after a short but severe struggle succeeded in wresting it
away, when he received two blows, one on the arm and the
other on the head, by which he was stunned. Witness
could not say who struck him, or what he was struck with,
but his surgical attendant was of opinion the blows were
inflicted with the prickle. On recovering his senses he
saw three men standing over him. The prisoner Charles
Foster was one of them ; he could not identify the ethers.
Chas. Foster was not the man who pointed the gun at him.
By the Bench—There was a light in the room when he
went in. Tho man who had the gun did not use any
threat, or utter a word. Witness was steeped in blood.

On the night-cap, shirt, and under-waistcoat, worn by
the witness at the time, being produced, ejaculations of
terror escaped from the Magistrates and the others pre-
sent, as the things presented a most horrifying appear-
ance, from the great quantity of blood with which they
had been saturated.

Two nieces of the prosecutor, and a number or other
witnesses, were examined, when the Bench seiltrthat with
respect to all the prisoners, but James Foster, they consi-
dered the evidence as sufficient to commit upon, but that
they would wish for furtLer evidence as against him.
The witnesses were boned ever to give evidence at the
ensuing Assizes, and Mr Hollands to prosecute. Richard
Ede, Dinnage, and Smith, were bound- over to give
evieience, if necessary ; and Edward Edo, who had given
the information on which the Fosters were apprehended,
was kept in custody for the same purpose.
The inquiry did not terminate until a late hour in the
everting.
Mr. Hollands was warmly congratulated by a great num-
ber of gentlemen of his neighboorhood; who were present,
and bad subscribed to the reward of 200 guineas eff.red for
tlic• discovery of the perpetrators of this daring outrage.
