good character when he left witness's employ, to
enable him to get another situation. Had found
him to be a good servanit when in his employ.
Mary Ann Redkison was the next witness, and
she went over the evidence as formerly given with
respect to Strugnell going to the house of her mas-
ter on the night of Sun day, the 21st of April, and
also spoke as to his going for some gin ; her letting
him in again, and then. his going into the parlour,
as he said, to seethe time. She said he had brought,
some copies of "Cassell's Bible," and while she was
looking at the pictures, she heard the noise of some
boys in the street, which led her to believe the
streetdoor had been opened. She told the prisoner
so, and said she would go up and see if anybody
had broken in. She took the candle, and as she
went by she saw the shop-door was open. Prisoner
remained in the shop,, and when she was halfway
up the stairs she hee rd him say, "I have got a
knife ; I will do for you." She went to her mas-
ter's room, and found the iron box was gone, and
on her going down kJ-fairs again prisoner asked her
what she was going to do. She said she was going
to call a policeman, as the house' had been robbed.
He then struck her with a knife, and she remem-
bered no more. She called out, "Fred, oh do not
hurt me. lam Ma3ry."
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l repeated the
expression I havejust said I heard Strugnell make,
" I have got a knife, I will do for you," when I was
at the hospital. I she uld have repeated it here to-
day if I had been asked. The door of the shop was
closed when he went for the gin. When Strug-
nell went into the pa dour, as he said to see the time,
he had plenty of time to open the door.
Re-examined by Mr. Sleigh—The parlour is on
a level with the kitchen and the shop, and the bed-
room in which the safe was taken from was imme-
diately over the parlour. I made use of the ex-
pression about " Strugnell threatening to do for
me," to Mr. Layton, the solicitor for the prosecu-
tion.

The magistrate aske d the injured woman whether
she would like to retire, and she replied that she
should like to remain in court and hear the whole
of the case.

Henry Biggs said he remembered the night in
question, and about 20 minutes past nine he was at
the Offord-road cab stand. The prisoner Strugnell
got on the box of the cab and asked him to drive to
Lyon-street, Stephenson-terrace (the place where
Quilter resides). Tb.e! prisoners Liney and Quilter
brought a box and placed it in his cab. The box
appeared to be made of iron and seemed to be very
heavy. When the box was put into the cab the
prisoner Strugnell was still on the box. After that
he got down and the three prisoners rode in the cab
one of them telling 'him to drive to South-street,
Pentonville. He did as he was told, and when he
got there Liney got out, knocked at the door, and
was told that the person he wanted was not within.
They then went to a public-house, and after they
had had something to drink, the prisoner Strugnell
said he would not wait any longer, and bidding
them good night, went away. He then drove the
other persons to several places, and ultimately left
the box at South-street, tho prisoners Liney and
Quilter removing it.
Mr. Barker fully committed the prisoners to New-
gate for trial.
