BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Befure Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
THE CUSTOM-HOUSE ROBBERIES.
he two men, James Garrett and John Johnson, who
elth v!litTelllaY pleaded guilty to indictments charging them
L robbing the London Docks Company, were this
morning brought up to receive the sentence of the Court.
mJohnson urged in mitigation of the sentence that on
3g taken into custody be had confessed his guilt, and
Cue every reparation in his power by giving informa-
hen, to the dock company respecting the robberies; that

'°e support, and that he had already been a con-
n,erable time in prison.
t,the other prisoner, Garratt, observed that all he bad
2%17! was that he had been in custody ever since the
, of November last.
iZtr• Justice COLERIDGE said the prisoners bad been
Crerght before him to receive the sentence of the law

Atieiter, took into account what they had both stated,
to 411.' frOm what passed yesterday, it had every reason
