Robert Smith, Clerk to Mr. Winffanley, fail
lie Wept in his warehoufe in Angel-court, Snow-
hill, and that conffituted it a dwelling houfe. It
was the fame hc'ule in which the Hand-in-Hand
Fire Office had been kept. On the 3111 ult. the
witnefs went to bed at ten o'clock at night ; the
honk was entered through a window over the
ffaircafe, and the goods were taken away.
The principal evidence againa the prifoners was
that of an accomplice named Smith; who (wore,
that he had got acquainted with Buckingham in
eonfequance of lodging in the houfe of his father,
who was a Fifhmonger. The Painter one day
told him he knew of a very good place, but
wanted a centre-bit. They then, in conjunition
with a young man named Belcher, (not yet in
ettilody) agreed to go to the Profecutor's ware-
houfe, for the purpofe of committing a robbery.
They went to Alderfgate-fireet after night-fall,
where they got a Lamplighter's ladder, carried
it to Ansel-court, and left' it there; after which
they went to the Prifoner's lodging, furnilhed
themfelves with a hag, &life keys, and other im-
plements, and repaired to the houfe in queftion.
The Witnefs went up the ladder, and with a
knife endeavoured to cut away the putty from the
pane of the itaircale wit.l2.)w, in order to get it
out without making a noite ; finding fome diffi-
culty in doing this, by Buckingham's defire he
broke the glafs. They got into the warehoufe,
lighted a ma:ch with a pipe which one of them
had been fmoaking, put a quantity of goods into
the bag, and carried them off inttantly to the
honk of the other prifoner, Blake, in Angel-Alley,
Bifhopfgatalreet. Blake purchafccl the greater
part of the goods for the fum of 211 s. They
flept that night, and kale nights after, at a lodg-
honfe in Chick-lane.
In corroboration of the evidence of this accom-
plice, it was proved, that he and Buckingham had
been fouiTd together by the City Marlbals who
took them up. They were teen lodging together
in Chick-lane.

And a peribn named Clark, in Red Crofs-flrect,
!Wore, that on New Year's-Day, the accomplice,
Smith, in company with Buckingham, came to
his fhop and bought a centre-bit and a flock of

fion of the prifcner.

dence of the accomplice with regard to Blake not
being corroborated, for nothing was found in his
polliftion, he was acquitted.
