robbery of a quantity of plate, Sec. being proved ;
Barnet Elias depofed, that he lives at
New Town, is a pedlar, and that on the gth of
March he ept at Owen Davis's, at Hounflow
and that on the loth in the morning, going from
thence to Staines, in his way to Chertfey, the pri-
toner jumped over a gate, allied him if he was not
a Jew ? and on anfwenag yes, prifoner allied him
if he would buy Come wedge (elver)? ne anfwered
yes, and prifoner pulled out of his pocket a falt
fpoon. The witnefs allied if he had any more ?
He faid he had more in plant (bid). Witnefs afked
him if he could not get it then ? He raid no, there
was a man at work near the place, but if the witnefs
would meet him at Staines bridge at fix o'clock-in
the evening, he would go with him and fell it all
to him. The witnefs offered to-call at the prifoner's
houfe, who Paid no ; I am furpeaed in the town to
be a fufpicious perfon, and fear my houfe may be
fearched, befides the matter has not been done long.
I broke the houfe only this morning. The witnefs
then agreed to meet him at fix o'clock in the even-
ing, at Staines bridge, but in the mean time went
to a jufice of Peace and gave information, and two
conftables were ordered to be at the bridge about
that hour. The prifoner was punaual to his time,
and went with the witnefs to the place where the
plate was planted ; took up fome rods, and drew
from under them a bag in which was the plate.—
The witnefs then drew out a long knife from his
pocket, reused the prifoner' and raid if he offered
to fir he would cut his head off; on which the pri-
toner gave the bag a (wing and threw it into the
river; immediately after which, the two confla-
bles and feveral other perfons came up and helped
him to fecure the prifoner. When he brit law the
prifoner in the morning, he told him what articles
he had got, which were the fame as found in the•
bag, and that he took them from a houfe near
Staines.

The two conflables corroborated the teflimony
of the lalt witnefs, of being tent by order of the
Jullice, and that they faw the prifoner throv • the
bag into the river, which, when flying througl the
air, they heard jingling, as of plate. They then
proceeded to drag for the fame, and
,at length re-
covered it, and took it to the Jolliet's, where it
I was (worn to by the profecutor and his filler.
The profecutor and his filler examined the feve.
rat articles produced in Court, and proved the
whole to be their's, either jointly or feverally.
The Jury, after a fevi minutes' confultation,
found the prifoner—Guilty.
