From having heard her father say so; it was all in Bank-notes, ant

her father had disposed of some time before the fire, to assist io
paying the rent ; the remainder he bad received from his customers.
The prisoner's daughter was asked if part of the family had not
been removed from the house the night preceding the fire? She
said that her brother and two sisters, the eldest of whom was only
eleven years, had certainly gone to the house of a Wend of h:r
father, in Westminster, of the name of Kirkman, who had under.

night last, when fired at • by an air-gun, appeared in the Junice-
room, and informe4 the Magistrate of the dreadful anxiety his wife
laboured under, in consequence of the vague reports that were is
circulation respecting the attempt upon her life. Among others, it
had been given oat that two Gentlemen were observed looking is
at the window the moment site the shot was fired. He had .t
first believed such to be the case; but be now produced a sht.e.
maker named Critcbley, who nw the two Gentlemen truss the
road. when the window was broken, and be declired that they
were not the persons who attempted Mrs. Jarrin's life. If they
had bred the gun be could have observed it, and as he had every
opportunity of taking them into custody, he would have done ;,o.
Mr. Conanr said, that -11obably these two persons could gin
some description of the person who fired the gun, and it was ad-
visable they should attend. Ile knew of no other anode of mu-
molesting with them than through the medium of the Public
Press ; and probably Mr. Jarrin's application would be made public.

this Ofiice, charged with having uttered Bank Post Bills, feloniously
stolen out of the Water ford Mail Coach; the entire sum taken

proved a note of similar value having been passed to her by a nun
resembling the prisoner, but he was fully identified by her servant
maid. Silk and wife were fully committed for trial at the next
Commission. The two notes above-mentioned, with a few others

of the stolen ones, were in course of business tendered at the Bank

the robbery, and the numbers of the notes, by the owner of them,
by which means they were traced to thaprisonen; it appeared that

Thursday last, five men employed on the works car-
rying on for the improvement of the navigation of
Lewes river, who had been to Rodmel to take their ac-
customed refreshment during the flow of the tide, oa
their return to the water's edge, attempted to cross the
river between the Sound Shallow and Asham, in a small
fiat-bottomed boat, which about the centre of the river
sunk with them, and consigned them to a watery grave,
the whole five having unhappily perished, in sight of
several of their fellow gang's-men on the opposite shore,
who could afford them no assistance, and who, guided
by prudence, had previously and safely crossed in the
said boat, two at a time. The boat, about ten minutes
after it sunk, rose again, so as to exhibit one of the ill-
fated men, about half his height above the surface of
the water, and what is very extraordinary, standing
perfectly erect, but be again disappeared before any
means could be taken to rescue him. The bodies were
soon after dragged for, and on being found, were placed
in a row on the bank of the river, and presented a very
melancholy spectacle. They were next removed to a
neighbouring barn, where the bodies were viewed by
'the Coroner's inquest, who returned their verdict—Ao
cidental Death by drowning.
