but five weeks discharged from the Penitentiary, where be had
been imprisoned five years: She said that she knew nothing of
the young man's parents or ftiends, or indeed of himself, but
what she said about his confinement. Witness then detailed the
'particulars of the robbery of the pistol in the watchhouset
The priioner was again questioned in vain as to his real name
and address. He varied from hts former account by stating that
his father lived near Norwich. He said that he lived at no par-
ticular house, but slept in different public-houses, and that ho was
in liquor when he hired the coach to drive to Clapham Common.
A man of gentlemanly appearance here stood torward, and
said he had been instructed to say that the conduct of the pri-
totter was merely a drunken freak, and that he haik not taken •
the pistol with the intention of stealing it.—The per,on then
quitted the Office without saying a word more.
The prisoner said it most be evident that he had no intention
of stealing the pistol, or the report of it would scarcely have been
heard in the office.
Mr. Franks, a gentleman connected with the Clapham Trust,
took the trouble to make many inquiries relative to the pritoner.
but he found that everything the young man had mentioned to
him was false.

Marshall was then committed for stealing the pistol.
