WINTER. ASSIZES.

'MAIDSTONE, THURSDAY, Drc. 16.
John Ingrain, alias Brown, alias Turner, and John Sedge,.
were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwel-
ing-house of Abraham Abrahams, and stealing, on twatches,he 13throf
November, at Minster, in the Isle of Sheppey, plate,
anti money, exceeding in amount 2001.
Mr. A snit EWs conducted the prosecution, and Mr. CIA•
RIDGE the defence.
It appeared in evidence that the prosecutor was a pawnhrolcer
and silversmith, at Blue Town, in the isle of Slieppey„ and that
in the course of the night of Saturday, the 13th of November,
his house was entered by fbrec, and property to an enormous
amount taken from his shop and pawn-room. On dwde,in
consequence of suspicion of the prisoners. pursuit Sunwas ma
and they were both traced to the White Swan public-house at
Chatham, where they were found drinking in company.
were immediately apprehended, and on their persons WAS found
almost the whole of the property lost by the prosecutor.
Several witnesses gave hedger a good character from his In-
fancy., and described him as a person of whom they had heard
nothing prejudicial. for the
Mr. Justice Duanounir summed up the evidence

The prisoners being called upon to say whether they hod any
thing to urge why judgment of death should not her that upon
them, Ingram 1 p ended strongly mary declaring that he
had purchased the property of a called Cheshire Charley
The other prisoner seemed affected by his situation, but said
nothing. f

minious situation. They
of the seen • t.. of the robbery, had been in communion with his
fellow-prisoner, who was a notorious London thief; hut, in
consideration of the testimonials to his character, and the ha'
mane recommendation of the prosecutor, he should not kno
him for execution. W.th 'sorer, the
i respect to the other pri . 6
law must take its course. There was such a load of crun
upon his back, that it was impossible for his. Lordship, con-
sistently with his duty, to interfere on his behalf. His Loned-
ftroomthehpisrilsoantdersk,nsoalwiLtah4ate
ship thought it necessary to state publicly, as the reason

this distinction between the prisoners' cases, that Ingram "IT
at the last Summer Assizes for Hertfordshire, been 110,11`-,
ted as a witness against three men, one named Cartivrl",
and the others named Marshall, charged with a huigg
r,:t
lary in the bause of Mr. Gordon, of Berkharostead, s"
whom had been convicted and executed upon his testimony
On that occasion the prisoner had confessed himself guilty
no no less than fourteen other felonies, many of which were oar
tal. It was impossible, under such circumstances, for him i°
expect mercy. A man so steeped in crime, and convicted at
upon the clearest evidence, of a most daring burglary, Ott
not hope to escape unpunished; he must,: therefore, make t+le
best use he could of the short time left him, to prepare for,
death ; and his Lordship conjured him, by hearty rePLEI`;
ante, to render himself not unworthy of the mercy of "'il
'
God in whose presence he was about shortly to appear. o
Lordship concluded by passing the awful sentence of the law in
the usual form.
