His Master was gone abroad, and Lis Mistress
sometimes went out, leaving the house to their
care. ()Iv the 15th of October witness- and E.
Omen went to the play, leaving one Dennis

told him, at the Hope and Anchor public-house,
that something had happened, and he would be
taken up and kept in custody until his master
came home, but that he (prisoner) was afraid to
tell him, lest he should split. Witness told him
Ice would not, and he then told him of the rob-
bery. On the following day heiold witness there
%emit() be no other way to get over it than to
break open the house, and let him, the watch-
man, in at half-past eleven, and he would give •
the Malin at 2 o'clock. On the Sunday he
stut him up stairs to his.. master's bed-roorn

razor of hint, and Morris bought a seal and key
(those produced). Witness then told them that
I is mistress was et-lining home that night, and
Morris said the alarm must be given that Oight,•
tor it was no good to drive it off any longer.

was crying twelve o'clock, witness let hint in
through the area, and they pulled off their shoes
and went up -stairs, and brought down the plate'
