that, on the day of the robbery, he returned from
Eastbourne, where he had, been spending a week's
holidays with his friends, and on entering the Brigh-
ton terminus for the purpose of taking a ticket for the
half-past six up train, he saw a young man, whom he
now recognised as the prisoner. He saw the prisoner
take a third-class ticket, which he paid for in silver;
and he (witness) then took a third-class ticket also,
and they rode in the same carriage together as far as
Croydon, when witness left in order to go to Epsom.
Mr. Paine--Did you, in the course of conversation
with the prisoner, tell him where you were going to ?
Witness—l told him I was going to Croydon, and
thence to Epsom.

Are you quite certain that the prisoner paid for
his ticket in silver, and not in a note ?—Yes, quite
certain.

Witness added that he never saw the prisoner be-
fore he met him at the station, and had never seen
him since he left him at Croydon. Prisoner's father
and another gentleman found him out at Epsom by
inquiring for him last Wednesday.
The MAGISTRATES said the evidence was so 'con-
tradictory, that some testimony ought to be given to
Aldridge's respectability.
Aldridge said his master's son lived at Mr. Tamp-
lin's, in Brighton. Mr. Pagden was thereupon sent
for, and on his arrival said the witness had been in his
father's employ for between three and four years.
Greene still adhered to his statement with regard
to the prisoner ; and neither he nor Mr. Caffin re-
membered Aldridge taking a ticket.
The MAGISTRATES said the evidence was so con-
tradictory that they must leave the decision upon it to
a jury.

The prisoner was therefore committed for trial at
the East Sussex Adjourned Sessions, in December
next. Bail was taken for his appearance, himself in
2001. ; and his father, an upholsterer, in Oxford-street,
and Mr. Joseph Goodman, landlord of the Plough,
Crown-street, Soho, i n 1001. each.
