.ALLEY, GLEDE, and Mr. REYNOLDS, Mr. S'er-
jeant -BEST was retained. Very strong arguments
were urged against the wording, of the indietrrnt,
both, as to the offence being charged to be intended
to be committed NEAR", instead of premises in Essex-

sion was then vested in. The exceptions to- the in-
diarnent, however, were not admitted by the Court,

quantity of timber, knowing it 'to be stolen. In
passing sentence upon the Prisoner, the CHA/R-
-MAN observed, • that the Court conceived him
to be particularly criminal, as his situation in life
was such as to place him above suspicion. The
deception, added to the criminality, and, if there had
been any doubt upon the case, the sort of evidence
that he had brought for his defence, would have con-
firmed his guilt.

the Steward and Housekeeper of the Earl of Os-

tol, and robbed them of Rank Notes to the amount
of 301. a guinea, two shillings, and a gold watch
and seal. The robbery was observed by the Amp-
thill stage-coachman, and the robber perceiving, the
coach approaching, rode off with all possible spec('
through the, village of Sheally, towards the Dun-
stable Road. •
