----Re-examined—l heard the clock strike twelve just
after they were gone.
By the JUDGE-I am (pita sure of the two men. I
knew their voices, when before the policeman, as well as
their features when I had time to recoil* et. I am be-
tween 65 and 66. Ibe a conscientious person, and I can
swear to them ; and I give to God the glory that they
were ever brought before me, likewise to my earthly
friends. There was nothing over their faces at the time
of the robbery.
Mrs. Cartwright, landlady of a beer-shop at Oldswin-
ford, remembered the prisoners being at her house on
Sunday, three weeks and three drys bAire Christmas ;
they were in the parlour, and had some drink. Harris
went for John Jones, and they all then remained in the
parlour, and had three jugs of sie. They then went
away, leaving Jones behind. O❑ the following Friday
I saw Harris at the same house ; prisoner's wife asked if
witness would sell him a ton of iron. _Harris was a very
poor man, and witne.ss recommended him to a person who
could sell him some.

John Jones, a 'Jailor, corroborated the last witness as
to being in company with the three prisoners on the day
in qu,stion, when Harris proposed to go and "do a rob-
bery." I told him at last I would go with him. He
said he had some matches, a eandle, and eight yards of
rope. They said it was to go to an old lady's house at
the back of the Hundred House. They were all to-
gether at the time of this proposal. They said the old
lady kept a cow. I did not go with them. We were to
meet at the Cl:ack Star, Stourport, that night, and start
from there when we thought proper, to go by the way
of the " Dog," at Dunley. Wood and I were to take
some nails with us, and the others had suite other
articles. Some days after, Bingham asked me the rea
son I deceived them, and I sail I woul,l not go with
them. At the time of the conversation Harris told me
he had a mask mad, out of an old hat.

Policeman Thornton, who apprehended Wood and
Bineiarn, near Bridgporth, deposed that thu,y both came
from a field as he was passing by, and when they saw
him they ran away, but he secured them, on which Bing-
ham said he meant to give himself up at the assizes, but
did not wish to be in prison bc7orc that time. Witness
had been nearly two hundred miles alter them.

Samuel Poole, a labourer, at Tipton, met Wood at
his sister's house, a beer shop, at the Lye Waste, Stour-
bridge, just after Christmas, and in talking about money,
Wood said he and Harris and Bingham had ronbed a
house mar the Hundred Houe, and had got some
money. They then had some wore drink. Two or
three weeks after wit.nes saw Harris and Bingham,
who owned to the robbery after a little hesitation.
Bingham showed him a purse, saying he had got a good
bit of money in it.

Other witwesses having been examined, whose evi-
dence tended to connect the prisoners with the burglary,
the jury found a verdict of Guilty against an, the pri-
soners.

His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, remarked on the
extraordinary- nerve and presence of mind of the old
woman, the prosecutrix, and then said the law should
take its full force. Ile sentenced them all to fifteen
years' transportation.
