were capitally convided, viz.
yolo; Kemp and Thm,a Pevett, charged with
heading a ewe (hap, the property of Mr. John:
Whitbread, near Edmonton. The cafe, in a great

Clements, a boy about twelve years old, who ac-
companied the prifoners to Mr. Whitbread's houfe
and field, and who gave a fulland cireumftantial

diately fet on foot; and the foreman first coming

however, foon collefted, and the purfuit continu-
ed, when the prifoner dropped the calk. He was
foots after overtaken, and with difficulty fecured ;
his comrade got off in the feufile.
Nothing being urged by the prifoner in Ms de-

of the profecutors' witneffes, the Jury brought in
