tnte, chat theyttent together on the night in que,tion,
by previous concert, to rob the house of the prosecutor,
in whose service MatihUll the elder told the others he
had lived.. They had provided themselves with all ihi
necessai y implements for housebieaking ; a stock and
centre bit, piCiclock keys, a dark lanthorn, &c. The
prisoriet Cartwright ahu himself first entered the house;
they went in at the pantry window, which Cartwright
pulled down. The latter handed out to the Mar4talls

the articles of plate found in the pantry. They were
small articles, such as silver milk jugs, spoons, and
forks. Cartwright then opened the back-front door,
and let in Marshall, who had lived in the prosecutor's
service. The other Marshall remained outside in the
lane. Tile prisoner, Marshall the elder, then pointed
out the door of his old master's library, where he kelit
his cash. A picklock was applied to the door. Mar-
shall the elder said, 44 I'll chew you where the old man
keeps his money." Upon entering the room, they found
a desk, which was handed out by the latter prisoner to
the other Marshall. A pair of smallclothes was also
handed out, which were afterwards hung upon a hedge
adjoining a wall. Marshall the elder then said he knew
a secret cupboard, where the family plate was kept.
The prisoner Cartwright was proceeding up the stairs,
when seeing a figure standing at the top of the stairs,
he said he thought he saw somebody, and he did not go
up. The figure was only an image holding out a lamp
in its hand. It was then agreed that before they Li:a-
cceded father they should search the desk, and see
what it contained. They returned to the lawn, broke
open the desk, and found it to contain fourteen five

pound notes, forty-five pounds in gold, and five gold
buckles. This property they secured, but left the papers
and the desk upon thd lawn. They returned to the
house, and after a short stay, they quitted, and pro-
ceeded in the direction towards London, by Hemel-
hern psted, and on arrival at St. Alban's, they got upon a
coach which had just come up at the moment. They
divided the gold coin before they got toHemelhempsted.
Cartwright had the bank notes. On arriving in London
they got off the coach in John-street, Clerkensvell, and
then proceeded to a court called Catherine Wheel-alley,
Bishopsgate-street, to the house of a man named Barnett.
There they disposed of the bank-notes and the plate.
11 Witness had seen Barnett two or three times before,

- ,
and received money from him in exchange for stolen
- - - - - - - -

goods. I3arnett weighed the silver, and he gave them
.15.6 d. a►► ounce for it. Witness received as his share

of the plunder about 401. altogether; they then parted
for their respective homes. Till the latter end of July,
last year, witness lived with Mr. Bainbridge, a Gentle-
man residing at No. 40, Harley-street.. Before then be
had lived as servant with a Lady in Devonshire-street,

to whom he attributed all his misfortunes. He lived
with her till the death of her husband, and then she

turned him adrift without money, and refused to give
him a good character. Thus bereft of the means of ho.'
nest livelihood, he was driven to the courses which he
had since pursued. He had been once in the House of
Correction, for being found in the area of a Gentleman's
house in Bedford-place. This was since he had left Mr.
Bainbridge's. He had also been in trouble for stealing
a man's hat at Chating•cross, being determined not to
want money. He would have got his money by honest
industry, if he had not lost his character.
The other prisoners asked the witness no questions.
Several other witnesses were then examined to prove
other parts of the case, in confirmation tithe accomplice.
The case for the prosecution being closed, the pri-
soners were severally called upon for their defence.
The elder Marshall, who had been servant to the pro-
secutor, denied that he had, in point of fact, arty share
in the robbery, but he admitted that Ingram had met
him at a house of call for servants out of place, and
asked him several questions respecting the family and
the house of the prosecutor: conceiving that his object
in so doing was to get employed in the prosecutor's
service, he accompanied him into Hertfordshire on
the day in question, and drank with him at several pub-
lic-houses at Watford ; but •in consequence of their
having some dispute, they parted in the evening, and
he never had any participation whatever in the robbery
with which he e as charged.
He called a person named Clarke, a shopkeeper in
Market-street, Haymarket, who gave the prisoner an
excellent character for many years.
The younger Marshall said nothing, but that he had
been a servant for a great many years in several re-
spectable families, and he put it to the Jury, whether
it was probable that he should have participated in the
robbery in question ?
The Learned Judge summed up the evidence with
stiict impartiality, and left it to them to consider the
guilt or innocence of the prisoners.
The Jury considered of their verdict for about five
minutes, and found all the prisoners guilty—Death.
Another charge against the prisoners, for robbing the
house of the Rev. Mr. Pym, a Gentleman of fortune, re-
siding at Radwell, was not proceeded in.
Ingram, the accomplice, applied to the Court to have
39 sovereigns returned to him, which had been found
upon his person when he was apprehended, but the
Learned Judge refused the application, on the ground
that the money was part of the proceeds of the robbery
is Mr. Pynt's house; but his Lordship ordered two
watches, which were not identified, to be given up to him.
The Grand Jury have thrown out the bill against
Padfield, of Shire lane, as an accessory before the fact
in the robbery of Earl Cowper's steward.

'ant keener in Wychwood Forest. On the :,sth of June,
he was 'found by a person named Young, lying on the
ground in the forest,having been wounded by two balls
shot from a gun. One of the balls slightly wounded
him, and the other severely in one of his thighs. Young
was attracted to the spot by the moaning of the deceased,
and immediately went to hint, and got assistance.—
The tracks hi the persons who committed this murder
were distinctly seen. About half an hour before the
gun was fired the prisoners were seen together; a short
time before, the deceased passed by the house of Pitt•
a N ay ; Puttaway followed him, and soon afterwards Pitt-
away and James were seen together in a potatoe-field,
which they crossed and payed into the forest, through
Ran Hill Gate. Frets this place to the spot where
