NORTHAMPTON ASSIZES.

THE NORTHAMPTON GANG OF ROBBERS.

rbistown and neighbourhood have been in tbe
utmost state of agitation these several months, in
consequence of the many desperate robberies
committed nightly. Conjecture attributed the
principal performance to some of the low idle
fellows who resided at some distance from the
town; and it was not till very lately that a person
of respectable appearance and occupation was
suspected to guide the movements of one of the
most formidable hands that ever appeared. The
Magistrates had been inundated with terrific sto-
ries of daring robberies, committed in disguise
for the gang attacked house's without caring whe-
ther :there were nnmhers or not. to protect the
property at, which they aimed. '!'bey wore masks,
and acted with all that toysterious and decisive
impetuosity which characterizes the German sto-

ry. At Jait the secret was discovered, and five
of the desperate multitude wereappreheuded. The
inhabitants of Northampton were struck witi)
amazement and fear at finding that those very
robbers were in The day time the honest, indus-
trious, sober residents of, their own town.

•On Thursday they were brought up for trial.
The interest was deepened by the cirentust,ince of
one of the most important of the gang being ad-
mitted
.King's evidence. His name i 3 Hills, his
trade that of a baker, and he resided- in Gold-
street, Northampton
The names of the. men, whom the evidence of
this accomplice wis to affect, =,t•e Minards, George,
Barrois, and Harwell: The three first were in- I

dieted for breaktuk into the' Douse OrGeorg'e,
Stnith, at DustontOge, Within :a mile and a half
of IN(;rthanipton, aturplundering it of all that was
ealni,ble in it. The lastwai indicted for abetting
and inducing the others,
For the prisoners an alibi was, with. great
,pudence, sworn to, but the testimony of those
who were so anxious to save their friends was
the most contradictory. imaginable.
Thomas Shaw, a shoemaker, a brother, and
the father of Barwell, and d female sweep named
iLYnes, were the per Sons who swore so hard.

The prisoners were all found Guilty, and sen
enced to die.

'There were several other indictments for rob-
beries under similar circumstances against them,
but they were not proceeded upon, the only evi-
dence being that of Hills, the accomplice.
