melted. Pierce bought the fire-bricks for making

quantity of gold in his possession, but he was discharged
as the gold could not be identified.]
Witness continued—l took the gold by appointment
to a beer-shop called the Alma. Ho left with the gold,
and afterwards returned with the money in gold. I took
the gold home to Pierce's house, where we counted it
and found it all right. About 1,8001. worth of
gold was disposed of in this way by Seward.
I made him a present of a ls. or sixpence for his trouble
on each occasion, but what he got else I don't know.
He did not tell me where he sold the gold. I have told
the Court of all the gold sold that I know of down to
the time of my arrest. I know a man named Seal, but
I never sold any gold to him, nor am I aware he had
I anything to do with it. The gold sold realised from
1 2,2001. to 2,3001., and the money was changed with
1 Bank of England notes by Pierce. After that, a meet-
ing of myself, Burgess, Pierce, and Tester took place
in Pierce's parlour, at Kilburn-villa. It was stated
that the gold bad been melted, and how
much money there was in hand. It was divided.
Tester had 6001., Burgess 70@/., Pierce 6001., and I had
6001. I was paid in notes, which I pit in my trunk,
and shortly after parted. The division took place in
the evening. Pierce kept no servant, and I believe
he sent Mrs. Pierce to the theatre that night to be out
of the way. I continued a week longer with Pierce,
and I then went to live with a female named Fanny
Campbell at Stanley-place, Paddington green, and was
so when I was apprehended. Pierce visited me there.
When I was arrested Pierce had the remainder of the
gold, with the exception of two or three bars that I
bad in a trunk at Pierce's ; but I was prevented from
selling it by my arrest. The whole of my share of the
notes, and some other money was in my trunk, with a
Spanish bond for 2001., when I was apprehended, and

ell into Pierce's hands. I had before sold similar bonds

He lived with me at No. 3, Cambridge-villas. She cor-

r,beratecl Agar's evidence as to Pierce's visits there,
and his frequently using the wash-house for hours toge-
ther, with Agar. The windows of the wash•house were

whitened, and the door fastened, to prevent my knowing
what they were doing. I used to hear hammering and

filing in the wash-house. They bad a charcoal fire in
the wash•house, and they usrd to fill the copper with
water. Charlotte Baker left me about 21st May, 1855.
Pierce and Agar continued working in the wash.house

up to the time of her leaving. The witness corroborated
Agar as t) his having several courier bags in the house
at that time, and other particulars relating to the doings
of the two, which it is not necessary to repeat. She
added, Agar had a great many tools, which he kept in
a green painted box, which was kept in different parts
of the house. A large iron bound trunk was kept
in the bed•room locked, and Agar kept the key.
On one occasion Pierce and Agar came home with two
bags in a cart containing charcoal. Toe witness was
some time under examination, but her evidence was en-
tirely corroborative of Agar's relative to his and Pierce's
actions at the latter's residence. When they were occu-
pied in the first floor back room she heard a roaring
noise like a furnace, and hammering. Once she looked
momentarily into the room and saw the stove was taken
out. Pierce and Agar were there at the time, and there
was a bright fire in the fireplace. They ran over and
shut the door. When they came down to their meals
they appeared very dirty and hot. On one occasion I
asked them what they were about, and they replied
"Leather apron weaving"—a cant term for " Mind your
own business." I afterwards saw Pierce bring down
large bricks (fire bricks) in a pail and put them in the
coal cellar. I last saw Agar on 11th June. He left me
very hastily. After he left me I went into the back bed-

to Tester for 7001. The day I was arrested L'ierce
walked with me from Stanley-place to Shepherd's-bush.
I took the child's perambulator and some clothes, and
gave them to Pierce, which he took home. I got inside
a buss to keep an appointment, but on my way about
four o'clock in the afternoon I was apprehended.
After that, 3,0001., which I had in the Stocks, were
sold out and brought to me in Newgate. I gave it to
Mr. Wontner, who kept it for some little while. He
asked me what he was to do with it, and I told him I
wished it turned over, and 2,5001., after deducting the
expenses of my defence, was given to Pierce's wife to
invest it for the benefit of my child and its mother, but
he has not done it. I never saw Pierce from the
time of my arrest till a few days since in the
hock. I have received letters from him since I have been
at Portland, with a portrait of ray child. The canvas
bags were destriyed. A round wooden mallet about the
ize of a pint pot was used to open the lfoxes ; it was
thrown over the pier at Dover the night of the robbery
with the wedges. Pierce kept all the money I had in my
trunk, the 6001. notes, some gold and gold bars. I ex-
pected when I was apprehended he would have come to
me, and have ma le arrangements with me, but he never
came near me. He had the whole of the money. When
at the coffee-house near the Southampton Arms,Camden-
town, the master of the house had a long conversation
with me in Pierce's absence. It is about three weeks
ago that I first made a statement in reference to this
robbery to Mr. Reed, the governor at Portland.
This finished the examination in chief of this witness.
Mr. Wontner said that, as the case must go elsewhere
for further investigation, he should best consult his
client's interest by abstaining from cross-examining the
witness.

room and I found the stove put into its place and black-
ened, and the floor burnt in a few places. I know a
person named Tester. I knew him at Sunbridge. I
have heard Pierce aad Agar speak of him, but I never
saw him at Cambridge-villas. The day before A.gar was
apprehended I appointed to see Pierce and Collier, the
person who had my child, at the Duke of Clarence,
Notting-hill. I found Pierce and Agar there. Agar
gave tne child to Pierce, who took the child
away in a cab. I was to meet Agar on a subsequent
day, but I tound from Pierce he bad been apprehended
in the meantime. At that time I received 10/. from
Pierce, 51. after, and subsequently 10/. Last January
I went to him at Pierce's house at Kilburn-villa; I
there saw Agar's trunks, gold watch, and chain. I
lived there till April, when I left on account of a quar-
rel. The watch has a view of Winchester Cathedral on
the face, and the initials "E. It. A." After I left
Pierce paid mo 103. a week. I was ill, and wrote to him
for assistance in May last, and be sent me 101. I have
had nothing of him since. I first made a communica-
tion of what I knew about two months since. Mrs.
Pierce has occasionally given me 10s. When I lived at
his house I saw Pierce with a great many notes. I first
gave information to Mr. Weatherhead, the governor of
Newgate. At that time I had no means of supporticg
myself and child. Shortly after that I saw Mr. Rees,
solicitor to the company, who has since provided me
and my child with the means of support. I had previ•
ously to this gone to Pierce's for my child's clothes, but
they were refused me. After waiting there some time
in the kitchen Pierce came down stairs and said to me
" What do you want." I. said my child's clothes ;he
said " do you," caught me by the hair of the head, drag-
ged rue round the kitchen, and very much ill-used me.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l have not received
1501. from Pierce. I have received of him 251., 10/ , 51.,
and 101., and 10s. per week. I went there on one occa-
sion to take the child away with the clothes it had. I
never went there and endeavoured to take it away naked.
After I left Pierce I again went to re,ide at Sheppard's-
bush, and from thence to Greenwich, where I now re-
side. I have not been to Portland. I was taken away
by a man whom I don't know, in a cart from Sneppard's-
hush. The man was accompanied by Mr. Chapman, a
gentleman in Mr. Itee's office. I have not seen Agar
since. I took the child from Pierce. I have written to
him twice since. I did not know Pierce on the line.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was dismissed from
Tunbridge because 1 left the station against the rules of
the company. I was in distress for some time after I
left the station. Burgess never gave me any assistance
is money. I had been away from the station 12 months
before 1 knew Agar, and had got rid of the gentleman
through whom I was dismissed from Tunbridge. Mr.
Rees does not allow me any money for my support,
but he pays my hoard and lodging for me. No period
is fixed for the termination of that support.
Mr. Lewis asked the witness where she at present
resided
Mr. Bodkin objected to the question, and directed
the witness not to give the requiied igOrmation. At
the proper time for her entering into recognisances she
should give her aJdresa.
Mr. Lewis protested against such conduct.
Mr. Bodkin said that at present the ends of justice
would be defeated, if the address was given.
The Lord Mayor said that, under the circumstances,
he could not allow the question to be put.
Mr. Lewis said it was a monstrous proceeding, and to
get her address he must adopt another course and have
her watched home. Here was a woman whose living
was paid for by the prosecution, and it was desirable to
ascertain her whereabouts, to make some inquiries about
her.

Mr. Lewis said be felt bound to pursue a contrary
course, and that he must proceed to cross examine the

;vitneFs at once.

Mr. Wontner said he was instructed by Piero to
state that the 2,5001. handed over to him for invest-
ment for Fanny Kay and Agar's child had been invested
by him in Turkish Bonds, and that they were taken pos-
session of by the officers when he was apprehended.
Mr. Bodkin said that that statement did not tally
with the notions entertained by the prosecution of the
facto.

Mr. Bodkin said that at present he advised the wit-
ness not to answer the question.
The witness declined accordingly to answer the ques-
tion. I had no instructions given me not to see any
person pending this irquiry. My child is now living
with me. She took half a sovereign once from Agar
when he was counting gold-1001. at least.
By Mr. Bodkin—Before Mr. Rees provided me and
sly child with support we were destitute. Before that
I was living in part of a room with a friend. I saw Agar
after his conviction at Pentonville, in the presence of
Mrs. Pierce, but I never had any conversation with him
about this robbery. I first knew of it in February or
March last, from Mrs. Pierce.
It being five o'clock Mr. Bodkin proposed an adjourn-
ment, as there were a great many witnesses more to be
examined.
Mr. Lewis said, from what he had heard, the case was
likely to occupy several weeks, and he therefore asked
that Pierce should be admitted to bail, as the trial could
not come off before the January session.
The Lord Mayor decided on refuting bail under any
circumstances.
Mr. Bodkin said that as the prosecutors would have
to go abroad for Tester it would be desirable to postpone
the case for some period, and he suggested a formal re-
mand of eight days.
Ultimately the further examination of the prisoners
was remanded till one o'clock on Monday next.
There are upwards of GO witnesses to be examined for
the prosecution.

the furnace, and brought them to my house in a
bag. The bricks produced are those used in making
the furnace alluded to, on which were distinctly now to
be seen particles of gold adhering. I left them in
the garden at Cambridge-villa, and I have never seen
them from that time till now. We used charcoal and
coke in melting it. Two bags were used, one I procured
and Pierce the other, which we bought near Wildferness-
row. The first lot of crucibles (5 or 6) were br.ught in
St. John's-square, and they were purchased by me and
Pierce. It was proposed to melt the gold into an "iron
ingot," which was procured at a jeweller's chop near
Clerkenwell Church-yard. I think I purchased it ; it
was about 3 feet long, 3 or 4 inches wide, and tapering
at the bottom. The melting occun'.ed three or four
days. - On the first day Fanny Kay Was not there ; we
bad sent her to see the child who wan at nurse, that, she
might be out of the way; she returped at
night. The servant girl at the time bad been
discharged. On the following day Pierce, came in
the morning and assisted me in cutting it
up and melting it. Fanny Kay was at home that day
and provided dinner for us. She came up to the door,
but we refused her admission to the room. The melting
created a very great heat. Fanny Kay remarked it, and
as we were much heated and in a state of perspiration,
it being warm weather, she wished to know what we
were about. On one occasion the beat was so great
that we bad to pet the fire out. to prevent the house
taking fire. In lifting out one of: the crucibles from the
fire a fnece -broke and it fell, and part of the gold rau
about the filer and burnt it, r.nd the remainder into a
tub of water we had. at hand.. Each bar when melted
weighed aboutloo ounces as near as possible. The bars
so melted I put into a trunk is my bed-room, where it
remained a short time, and then it was removed by
a horse and cart to Pierce's house, Crown Ter-
race, Hampstead. It was', however, the same cart
we bad on a former occasion, and was hired by Pierce.
Tee gold remained there for a short time. I had a
quarrel with Fanny Kay, left her, and took lodgings at
g.ilhum road, leaving t'no furniture with Vanny ; the
lodgings I took were about two miles from Kilburn-
gate. I went there by the ria:no of Adams. I went by
that name at Shepherds'-bush, and Fanny Kay as Mrs.
Adams. The gold was afterwards removed by
two or
three hers at a time, by me anl Pierce, from his house
to my lode;inge, on the Kilburn-road; Pierce then
shifted his reerdence to Kilburn-villa, and I assisted hint
urnitnre. I then lodged with, bin;, and

SPORTING NOTES.

- SOMETHING ABOUT SHREWSBURY.

The game will be played out this week. The Shrews-
bury Meeting will bring tho legitimate racing season of
'56 to a close, and a clear field will be left for the
jumpers. Mr. Frail seems determined to wind up the
sports with eclat, and be has supplied an amount of
racing which would perhaps be impossible in the summer
months. The programme, in fact, is not a little puz-
zling, and I shall be somewhat perplexed to discover
the "good things" for which Shrewsbury is notorious.
That the meeting will be successful no doubts can
be entertained, and all persons who know Mr. Frail
and his staff of officials are convinced that the proceed-
ings will be conducted with due regularity and effi-
ciency.

The acceptances for the different handicap events were
not published until Saturday ; the betting brotherhood
have, therefore, had no opportunity for the commence
went of operations, and in all probability the betting
will be confined to the " post," the cautious people wait•
ing until the numbers appear on the telegraph board.
S.till, even then, they will perhaps be compelled to con-
duct their epeculations with care, for the proceedings
connected with MiFs Harkaway at Hoylake show that
the telegraph is not unfrequently used for the purpose of
putting horses in the 1, ole.

Berks.

To enter into an elaborate discussion of the compa-
rative chances of the accepted animals in each race
would only occupy space unnecessarily, and, in fact, in
the absence of all trustworthy information as to the
probable starters such a discussion would be simply
absurd. I shall briefly express my opinion on those
horses that seem " well in" on paper.
Twenty-two have accepted for the Shrewsbury Han-
dicap, and of those I am induced to believe that the
most favourably treated are Lord Alfred, Cossey,
Imogene, Merlin, and Gaudy. The first-mentioned
horse has undeniable speed, but his staying powers are
somewhat doubtful. Still his impost is light enough to
enable him to "get home," espacially ainortgit the mode
rate class of animals which he will encounter. Cossey
is slow and game, and, de-pits his 71b extra, his chance
is still formidable. Imogene's running at Liverpool
would indicate that sbe has lost all form ; still, should
she go to the post to-morrow, I shall be disinclined to
withhold all confidence from her: Merlin is dangerous,
but as I am not acquainted with his owner's "inten-
tions," I shall not express a decided opinion on his

chance. Should be start I 41411 not be amongst his op
ponents, but in his default I shall look to LORD ALFRED
a.,d IMOGENE to pull through.
Of the yearlings I know nothing.
For the Corporation Piate I shall select Leamington
and Poluaoodie.

Hopeless Star has certainly bean very leniently ban•
dicapped for the Steeplechase, and should she show only
an accident ought to " take the shine out of her."
Should Lord Alfred and Polinoodie go unpenalised to
the poet for the Steward Plate, I shall be inclined t)
"stand them" against the field.
The Dipthong colt, Vaulter, and Oriando are my
" fancies" for the Nursery.
