Adam Robinson, aged 15, and John Robinson,
aged 15, were indicted for setting fire to a haystack,
the property of Thomas Peacock, of St. Andrew

Mr. Peacock examined—l live at Bishop Auck-
land, and on the 30th of May last, had a hay-stack
which stood in a field in that place. On that day I
went to Durham, and returned about ten o'clock in
the evening. I then ascertained that the hay-stack
had been set on fire, and about three tons wasted.

Mary Wilson examined—l am servant to Mr.
Wilkinson, of Bishop Auckland. On the 30th of
May last, about six o'clock in the evening, I went
to milk my master's cows. •:The cows were within
a field of Mr. Peacock's hay-tack. On my return-
ing from milking, I met three boys; one of them
was carrying some fire. On seeing, me he put the
fire beneath his coat. I never saw the fire, but I
saw the smoke before I got to them. They passed
quite close to me.
By Mr. Justice BAYLEY—The boys did riot hide
their faces in passing. I had never seen them be-
fore. I heard of the hay-stack being on fire about
twenty minutes after I saw them.
John Mundill-examined—l occupy the two fields
called the Tenters, which are next to Mr. Peacock's.
I was in one of these fields on the evening of the
30th of May. I know the prisoners. I saw them
near the fields. They had some fire with them. It
was wrapped up in tow, or something of the kind.—
I only saw smoke. They were going ►n the direc-
tion of the town.. In about ten minutes afterwards
tliere was an alarm of the stack being on fire.

Dixon-.-! saw the prisoners at thesslik
Tenter-fieble,.op the evening of the 30tirMay
laSt. A third bojr-tiarned Joseph Robinson, was
with them. I observed that Joseph had some fire
in his hand, which as soon as he perceived me he
put under his coat.
The Jury, after a- short consultation, acquitted
both the prisoners.
- Mr. Justice BAYLEY pointed out to the prisoners
the narrow escape which they had had, and admo-
nished them to be careful in future. They were then
ordered to be discharged.

cock, the property of Anthony Browne, on the 3d
of June last.

be transported for 14 years.
