James Wild, an active officer of the R division, stated
that since the last examination he had found two large
pieces of copper between two feather beds in an upper room
of Ingram's house, besides a bar of solder and some brass
cocks wrapped up in several new worsted stockings.
William Thomas, of the R division, deposed, that on
Sunday evening, he went to the Royal Standard public-
house at Deptford, and there saw the male prison:tr, In-
gram, who told witness that he had taken the advice of
his solicitor ; that his name was Ingram ; and that he had
resolved to surrender himself, in order to save his wife, who
was in custody, and was perfectly innocent. Witness then
conveyed him to the station-house.
Mrs- Ether Margaret Pattison, a widow lady, residing at
No. 1, Thames-street, Greenwich, deposed that the house,
No. 4, in the same street, belonged to her. In June last,
the prisober, William Ingram, took a lease of the house for
31 years, at which time there were no excavations under
ground, nor any trap-door about the house. Before Ingram
tenanted the house a person named Francis occupied it,
and Benwell, a blacksmith, occupied the she# adjoining,

tenancy he had pulled down the shed, and erected all those
buildings which were vaulted, and where the stolen pro-

which opened a door leading to one of the vaulted out-
houses, and gave a description of the premises that exactly
corresponded with that which has beer, already published.
