eight and nine, to the house, on the morning of Mon-
day the 29th, in ifoach, with a bundle wrapt in a
green cloth, and ordered breakfast : they stopped
above half an bout'. She thought they looked very

certain of him : can't speak to the other (Hitchens)
being one of them.
Benjamin Berry corroborated the last witness. He
particularly attended to observe their persons, and
desired his brother to do so also. The border of the
cloth in which the bundle was, was lined with yellow.
Suspected them the moment he saw them. Believes
the tall one (Wm. Kelly) to be one, and Hitchens
the ode*, but he did Dot see their faces. They were
thee before eight in the morning.
Mrs. Ashworth being here called, said she lost a
green bhize with a yellow border. This was taken at
the same time.
John Berry, brother of the last witness, saw the
men come to the house in a coach, between seven
and eight in the morning ; they had a very large
bundle, tied up in green baiee with a yellow border.
The tall man took hold of it. WAS desired by his!
brother to observe them; and he therefore followed ,
them a short way, and lost them in turning a corner.
Swears to Wallahs Kelly being there, but he cannot:
speak, to 1-litchens.
