sovereigns, with which he absconded. On the night of Saturday,
the stoth inst. Mr. Symonds was awoke by a noise as If some per-
sons were in his parlour; he went down to the parlour, where be
groped about in the dark, and finding everything, as he supposed,
in its place, he returned to his bed. On testing op in the Morning,
he fuuud that his trowsers, which had two sovereigns to the pockets
together with his waistcoat, shoes, stockings, and bat, were taken
away ; and old ones lett in their place—the old has he recognised as
belonging to floater. On going down stairs he found the door ajar,
and also that his desk in the parlour had been broken open, and
seven sovereigns, some handkerchiefs, and other articles taken oat

had sexed was found to be Hunter. Near the place where he stood
a pistol was found, which Din. Holmes identified as her property,
that was taken out of a drawer in her parlour. Sbe also stated, that
a considerable quantity of her clothes were tied up in bundles, evi-
dently in preparation for carrying away.

prisoner Loren was observed lounging near, and they took him into
custody; and on searching him, found on him duplicates of some
of the articles that had been stolen from Mr. Symonds, which had
been pawned.

had been pledged by the prisoners.
