ran into anotherd/om. ctvtook ho a peep
her noise. The woman gave Zine of the men her t.
It was reported that we took 101.; but I did not see any
of it. We only shared 3s. 6d. each. One was taken up for
this robbery. We parted sad I did not see the Guild-
ford men any more. This was the first time I was led
into it. I think this was the last week in May; the
wood was not in 'elf. The names of the men concerned
in this robbery were James Jones, Levi Harwood (now
under sentence of death for the murder of Mr. 11911 est),
John Harris, alias Smith (transported for life for the
Uckfield burglary), the prisoner Samuel Harwood, John
Isaacs, and James Hamilton."
The Magistrate then asked Mr. Biddlecombe what
remand he required?—Mr. Biddlecombe thought a week
would be sufficient. It was necessary that be should
apply to the authorities at Tunbridge Wells, to allow hint
to place Isaacs in the dock with the other prisoners.
The Chairman then remanded the prisoners till the
21st instant.
Captain Macky, the chief constable of Sussex, then
applied to the Bench to allow Hamilton to be handed
over to him, the magistrates having decided on admit-
ting him as approver against llerwced and hates.
Mr. liiddlecaimbe hoped the I:aegis:otos would not
grant the application of Captain Macky. Such a course
could have no good effect, but would must probably
defeat the ends of justice.
The Bench took the same view as Mr. Biddlecombe.
and the application was refused; in the mean time to
remain in the same custody as before.
The Court then adjourned.

LIE FRIIILEY MURDERERS.—Ycaterday (Sunday)
morning, the chaplain of Horsemonger-Jane-gaol
preached the condemned sermon, in the chapel of the
prison. Shortly before ten o'clock the whole of the pri-
soners in the gaol Were conducted to the chapel;Har-
wood and Jones being accompanied by the turnkeys who
have been appointed to watch over them since their con-
demnation. They were placed in such a position that
one. could not be seen by the other. Hiram Smith, the
approver, was also in the chapel, but eare was taken that
he should not be seen by either of the other men, so
that their attention might not be called off front the so-
lemn services in which they were about to engage.
The text was the 12th verse of the 7ett, psalm,
Let the sorrowful sighing of the Prisoners
come before thee; according to • the greatness of th
power preserve tacusy
'those that are appointed to die.'
•
The reverend gentleman's sermon appeared to make a
great impression upon many amongst the congregation,
who were moved to tears. The condemned prisoners lis-
tened with much attention, and Jones once or twice ap-
peared to ba somewhat affected by the chaplain's earnest
and pious tone of entreaty. On Saturday afternoon the
prisoners took their final leave of their relatives. Har-
wood was visited by his brother and sister, and the in-
terview is described as being extremely painful. After
he had taken leave of them, he exhibited a calmness of
demeanour and resignation to his fate which he had not
previously shown. Jones was visited by four of his re
latives. He evinced deep distress of mind, and remained
for many hours afterwards in a most desponding state.
It is believed that Jones made a full confession to the
Rev. W. Rowe, admitting the general correctness of
Hiram Smith's evidence; bnt, of course, nothing autho-
ritative can transpire until after the execution. The
execution will take place at nine o'clock to-morrow
(Tuesday) morning.

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.
On Friday morning considerable excitement pre-
vailed in the Middlesex House of Correction, Coldbath-
square, Clerkenwell, in consequence of the escape of one
of the prisoners, which occurred under the following ex-
traordinary and determined circumstances :—About
eight o'clock, the attention of several persons who were
passing was attracted to that part of the:walls of the
prison which is close to the wheel connected with the
treadmill, upon seeing a man mount the parapet, and
who had on the convict dress. In less than a minute he
was observed to place on the outside of the wall a sort
of ladder, which he firmly attached to the stone coping
of the wall. This being done, he promptly descended
and dropped on the ground. The wall is about thirty
feet in height, and the ladder reached within seven feet
of the base. As soon as he recovered himself from
the shock, he took off his jacket, which he flung away,
and run by the side of the the dead wall towards the
factory of Mr. Cubitt with his utmost speed, and was
soon out of sight. Information was promptly commum_
cated by a boy to the authorities of the gaol, when Cap.
tain Chesterton, the governor, immediately dispatched
several officers in pursuit of him, but without effeet.
Subsequently, a report of the occurrence was sent to
the office of the Secretary of State. It ap-
pears that the convict was engaged in the carpenter's
sbop(which is at a short distance from the wall by which
he made his escape), where he had an opportunity of
making the machine with the assistance of which he
scaled the wall. This was composed of pieces of the
framework of a door, into three links, the ends of each
of which were connected together, so as to form a folding
ladder, and which it is supposed he must have been some
days preparing. The prisoner had chosen a time for the
exploit when the wardens were engaged in getting the
breakfast for the convicts. There are no day watchmen
on duty, these having been dispensed with lately. The
name of the prisoner is Abraham Granger. He is a
carpenter by trade, and on that account was placed in
the carpenters' shop. He is a native of Bolton, Lau-
cashire, and is about thirtY4oue rears of age. At the
last January sessions of the Central Criminal Court, he
was convicted of uttering counterfeit coin, for which he
was s..,ntenced to tw,,lve months' imprisonment in the
Middlesex House of Currvction. He lead bt.en previously
employed at the Crystal Palace. Ills last place of rebi-
dere° was in the neighbourhood of Whi:ecuagel. Ile is
about five fret seven inches iu height. soil rather stout.
Ili% hair is of a brown colour, and his eyes of a greyish
cast. Ho has a fair compl(xion, and several scars about
his arms and body—the effects of bt:tf Ids.
