Win. W. Moore was in the Kingsland-road on
the 16th of August, betweep 11 and 12 o'clock at
night,, on his return home to Newington, at first he
was alone, but afterwards he was overtaken by the
prisoners ; Blackmore was the first that came up to
him, he Relied witness where he was going; the re-
ply was to Newington ; Blackmore then said, he was
going there too; he asked witness to give him some-
thing to drink ; he gave him four pennyworth of gin.
After they got out on the road again they proceeded.
Very soon afterwards a person came behind witness
and struck him a blow on the head, and Blackmore
caught his arm at the same time with a view of as-
sisting to throw him down.. As soon as witness re-
covered a little, saw Blackmore run away
with his hat ; found also that his handkerchief
was gone. Called out " watch," The watch-
man came, who with witness ran in pur-
suit of the three prisoners, who ran off in com-
pany. In an hour and a half afterwards saw Riley
and Blackmore brought to the watch-house. Was
quite positive that Blackmore was the person who
assisted to throw him down, and who ran away with
the hat. _

Wm, Norton, a watchman, went in pursuit. of
the prisoners, and took Blackmore and Riley in a
hay-loft. Saw Blackmore take the hat up and run
away.
The prisoners denied the charge. Several wit-
nesses gave them a good character for industry and
sobriety.
