He told Min be wanted him respecting the
' at Holton. He seamed surprised at first, but
_lie had been some time is custody, he said he Would-
tell the whole truth. Witness found* on his table a,
letter directed to M.Westwantd, of the house of Live
and Co. Solicitors to the Bank.
William Wood, clerk in the <Ace at Bow..street,
produced the minutes of evidence as given by Mrs.
Macdonald, Mackay and Vatigh.th and the other
parties, who gave evidence f the burglary, which
was road ; witness resuthed. in consequence of some-
thing which occurred, Mr. Nitres laud Vaughan for
*the name of his informer ; Vaughan made some ob-
. jection, but said if Mr. gales wished it, he would
produce him on another day. In about a quarter of
an hour alter. Drake was brought into the ofce.—'
Mackay afterwarJs made a kill confession of the
share he had in the transactions', both at Seagai's and
Mis. Macdonald's.--(This confe%ion was put in and
read, and detailed several conversaien4 between
Hubbard, and Vaughan the informant, and Drake,
- relative to the contemplated burglaries; and farther
stated, that Vaughan furnished the skeleton keys and
crow-bar, intended to be used at Mr. Seagac's, and
which was used at Mrs. Macdonald's.)
Joshua Armstrong is an officer of Worship-street.
In July last, Drake, in company with Wackily, ap-
plied to witness, and said he had WI rotation fur him
of a burglary about to be done in Holton. Witness
asked Drake how he knew it was to be done? who
replied, he had the " chaps" in waiting just by, and
that when taken, they must not be brought to Wcr.
ship-street, but must go to Ilow-street,,and Vaughan
would go with them. On hearing this, witness said
it was a transaction be would nut be concerned in,
and ioniser, if the men were taken into custody, he
would
.go to Bow-street about it, and give in-
lot (nation.

William Darman keeps the Angel and Crown, in
101141-street-road, and had frequently seen Drake and
Mrs. Macdonald together, and on two or three occa-
sions, he had seen Broion with her also.
Mrs. Macdonald deposed, that she lived in Britan-
via-gardens, Horton, in July last. • She knew Drake
for nearly twelve months; remembered the night her
Louse was broke open ; she had been out at .the
Crooked Billet public-house in Kingsland.road; where
. she met Brown, Drake, and a man dressed as a
sailor. They continued there until near eleven
o'clock, when they went into a house in Tabernacle-
square. Here she remained, as did also Brown and
the sailor, but Drake went away. It was very late
when fie returned, and he afterwards accompanied
her to her own door, where she saw three other per-
sons, che of whom was Vaughan. She inquired their
business, and they informed her that her house had
been broke open.
Cross.txamined by Mr. ARABIN.—CouId not. say
how long before the robbery it was that she lent the
ring to Mr. Drake. She knew no harm of him. He
WAS a common acquaintance of her's. She lived
now in Plumer-street. She did.not go by the name.
of bd‘Donalti s she did not like to be known by that
name alter so much had been said in the newspapers.
.Sbe now goes by the name of Charrington. The
day before the robbery she went by the name of
Bland, but she never went by the name of Drake.—
The ring w..s in the boa on the evening of the rob-
bery, but she could not say the boi was locked.—
Drake miter slept at her house. The ring produced
the witness had lent 'to Drake'on the Saturday even.
ing she went to Sadler's Wells; and she'was alto
out one other evening, between Saturday and Tues-
day, with Brown and Drake.
Here the case closed on the part of the Crown.
Mr. ALIEN then rose, and, on behalf of Vaughan,
entered into an ingenious defence, in which he re-
viewed the whole of the evidence, and contended that
in no part was the fact of a guilty participation made
out against. except in the unconfirmed testimony
and imputation of.prake, and' that the conduct pur-
sued.by bim was that of a sense of public duty as an
ofscer. The other two prisoners had no Counsel,
but they each shortly addressed die Court.
Edward Christian, Esq. Chief Justice of the Isle of
Ely, was called on the part of Vaughan, and gave
bias's good character during the time be bad known
him as his servant a few years since.
Mr. Guam having risen to reply to Mr. Arabia,
the latter objected, upon the ground that, he (Mr.
Aritbin) had not called witness on the past of the
poisoner with regard to facts.
Mr. Guasair, in reply, said, that -he was acting
.for the Attorney-General, and in that sittestion, he
claimed the tight of addressing the Court.
'i'he.Jury found: all the prisoners Guilty.
The Court sentenced all three to. be imprisoned
five years in the House of Correction ; and Vaughan„,
in addition, to pay a fine of £BO. •

public house in West street,- linseed, that shoat
o'clock, Kiliver cared in and told her, that on their
going home to dinner they fouud Welsh dead. Wit-
ness said that could.not be, as she had seen him but
a what. ago. Kiliver said nobody was with him
when he died but Hannah, meaning Mahon,y. She
seemed flinch frightened, and begged Witness. fur
CP.D.II sake, hot to say the man was dead. Between
ten and eleven o'clock, witness, who had goneto bed,
was awoke by a tremendous crash.' She threw up
the window when she saw a short woman rush out
of Mahoney's house, and as she ran into the street
she cried, " Mary, you have murdered him." John
Smith, beadle of St. Giles's, siiw the body of the de-
ceased on the 6th August—it had a mark, as of a
cord, mond the neck, and a black mayk, and the
skin rubbed up under the right ear. Mahoney said
he had died of the cramp in his stomach. After the
Crooner's inquest he took Kiliver into custody : she
confessed that she had not told the truth before the
Cratintrf, having peen sworn to secrecy upon the
Holy Cross of Christ before Mahoney shewed her the
dead body. The bed on which it lay was very wet,
.as if water 1124 been thrown into it, and the body
was nearly cold. Kilivar,alluding to the oath before
the Coroner, said, H Lord, we don't mind your oath
a farthing." Mrs. Mahoney produced a handker.
chid with a piece at off one of the corners, as the
handkerchief with which Welsh had strangled him-
self, and said, that in cutting bias down she as that
piece off.
James Driscoll went to Mahoney between three
and fouro'clock in the morning of the 6:11 of August.
having been called up by the prisoner's mother. He
saw no mark on the deceased, escept a small speck
on the tip of the nose. Mahoney said she did not
know how Welsh died.—Elizabeth Day proved that
between six and seven a fighting commenced in Ma-
honey's, which lasted an hour or two. She heard
Welsh repeatedly exclaim, " Oh, my God! my
Christ l' She did not hear of his death till next
morning. —Anne Mitchell, a lodger at Mahoney's,
also heard the noise of the fighting. At five nest
morning Mahoney came into her room, told her
Welsh was dead, and took away a long table cn
which to lay him out. Witness asked her how Welsh
came to die ? and Mahoney answered, " ask me no
questions."
Joanna Dae stated, that at Kilivar's request she•
went .to Mahoney's., between eleven and twelve at
night of the sth August, and on seeing Welsh's.dead
body she cued and became very ill. Mahoney was
crying, but said nothing to the witness about his
death.—Mrs. Atkins proved, that last witness was
the woman that she saw ruo nut of Mahosey'shouse,
crying o Mary, you have killed him."—Catharine
Ayres saw a short woman-run nut of ihoney's
house, about twelve on the night of the sth August.
crying, " The man is murdered I he is murdered I".
She could not say that Joanna Dae wis that woman.
Robert M•Ltllan, an upholsterer, in Great Rus-
sell-street, was passing through Dyott-street, about
a quarter before ten o'clock un the sth August. He
heard a great noise in Mahoney's, end soon after two
or three men and a woman leaped down the imps of
the door, and then ran down the street. He looked
in at the door, bat he saw no one, neither did be hear

any noise.
Mary IQliver, aged 9 years, the daughter of one
of the prisoners, deposed, that she heard Mri. Ma-
honey make her mother swear by the ten •crosses of
Christ not to tell any body that Welsh was dead.—
Mrs. M. told her mother to put her two fingers across,
and then swore her not to tell chat Welsh was deed:
Mrs. M. beat Welsh on -the Thursday before with a
poker and shovel. about the head and shoulders, and
he knocked her down. • At breakfast, on the sth of
August, Welsh, had the mark ct a bite on his nose ;
but has face was not so much bruised as on the even-
ieg'of the same day.
• • Mary Mahoney, mother to the prisoner. saw the
dead body between twelve and one o'clock in the
night of the:Ph of August. She seer no marks on
his face. Her daughter did not tell her how Welsh
died ; and she did not want to hear any thing about
it.. Joseph Burgess, apothecary to St. Giles's parish,
was sent for to Maheney's house on the6thof August,
ideate be saw a dead body. Mrs. Mahoney was there.
Thii body was laid out in the usual form for an Irish
wake. It bad a white neckcloth, with a pad in it,
about its neck. No one attempted to prevent him
from examining the body ; and, after taking off the
neckcloth, he found, a very extensive bruise on the
left side of the
.jaw; extending to the ear, and several
scratches on the face: On the neck he discovered a
very plain and decided mark; extending all round the
neck, which, in his opinion, indicated the mode efhis
death. He asked Mrs. M. why she had not sent for
some medical man ? and she said she was so agitated
she did not know what she did: The mark might
have been made by a cord. There were marks on the,
wrists as of a ligature. His opinion was, that the
thing which caused the marks on the neck would.
produce•strangulation, and he believed the death was
caused by that. —Cross-examined. He thought that
if a' man had a tight silk handkerchief about his neck
without a pod, at 41111 time of his death, from cramp.i
soar the stomach, it might have produced the rieg mark
which he saw on the deceased.
In their defence, both prisoners denied having any
knowledge whatever of the causes of Welsh's death.
