session they found a sack, file, several small screws, a very peculiar
and well-made centre-bit, and several other implements of house-
breaking, together with a small pier glass.
John Bennet, the schoolmaster, identified some portion of the
property, and was corroborated in his statement by his daughter,
Mary Bennet, who also stated that a hole was bored in the hitches:
windows, by means of which the persons entered the premises.

premises regularly every night previous to his going to rest; that

the locks of all the drawers were forced, and every pertableartide
which either contained was gone.

Yesterday, Themes Rayner, a carman in the employ of Mr.
Perry, a builder, residing in the Horseferry-road, was charged
with stealing two sacks of oats, the property of Mr. Thomas Gib-
bon, a caner, living in Earl-street, Westminster.
It appeared that the prosnator. Mr. Gibbon, occupied a loft,
with a stabling and yard, of Mr. Perry, and rented part of another
adjoining, wherein he kept his corn, and for some time past he bad
missed considerable quantities of his oats, bat could a find out
the thief until last Friday night, When two of his (Mr. Gibbon's)
men saw the prisoner come out of the loft twice, carrying each
time a sack of oats, which be placed in the stable of Mr. Perry.
Two witnesses deposed to the above facts ; and George Pople,
an officer, proved apprehending the prisoner on Saturday upon the
charge of sobbery, when he denied the theft, and said that a man
with a horse and can requested him to let the two sacks of oats be
put into the stable until be called again ; this he acceded to, but did
,not know tht man.

The prisoner in bis defence denied the robbery, said he was chas-
ing nut the loft for his master, and finding the sacks of oats there
had brought them into the stable.—lie was committed.
