William Weston, 22, Joseph Routledge, 56, Charles
Rootledge, 13, were charged before Mr. Bingham, with
being in possession of 3501b5. of lead, and a copper, sup-
posed to be stolen.
Sergeant Vincent Gummer, 21 C, said that on the
previou night, while in Deac-street, he noticed Wyatt
sad Weston drawing a truck. He followed them to the
bektost of Beard's-street, when they stopped near a
marina-store shop, kept by the elder Routledge. He
saw the prisoner Weston take out of the truck a bag,
AO go into Routledge's house by a private door, Wyatt
remaining with the truck. Weston then came out and
went to the truck again, and was in the act of taking
out another bag when, seeing another officer come
along, he called him, and went up to the truck
and asked them what they had got there, Weston
replied, " Property I am going to take down the
c4eirt." The prisoners both ran away, leaving the truck
in-the street, with several bags in it containing lead and
• eopper. He purened the prisoners, and, assisted by
another officer, took them into custody. Weston re-
sisted a good deal, and kicked him severely and knocked
him down. He then went to the prisoner Routledge's
shop, and asked where the bag was wVch the prisoner
had brought io. The elder one said he knew nothing
about it. After a short time, and when it was seen that
he was going to make a search, the younger Routledge
