Wednesday last, on swipicion of being concerned in a burglary
which was committed some time since at one of the Oval Cottages,

Cottages, Mackeycoad ; I know the prisoner and his mother;
they have lodged with me for some time. At about balf.pait
one o'clock on the morning of the 10th of September, I was
alarmed by a noise in the house, and was much teethed at seeing
shortly afterwards my bed-room door broken epee by two
men, who commenced ransacking the drawers. They seemed
anxious to conceal their faces as much as polidble, and one of
them exclaimed, in an under voice, that if I attempted to make
the slightest noise be would blow my brains out with a pis.
VI, which be held in his hand ; and added, that they would spare
n 4 life if I would give up my watch and whatever money
I bad in the house. I replied that I had no money. One of
them then took a gold watch out of my pocket. and another one
which was hanging up ta the bedpost. The other robber
pro-
cured a light, which he put in his lantern, and proceeded to
rub the house, while I was secured by hie companion, who vehe-
mently swore if 1 left the room be would certainly blow out my
brains: After I was thus locked up. I beard the mother of the
prisoner call out. " Thomas, come up now." de replied, I
cannot come up yet." I then beard oar of the robbers exclaim—
" Don't mind, we will take care of him." Idu not think the
prisoner at the bar is one of the persons who came into my room.
At about eleven o'clock the preceding evening I beard hint speak to
Ms mother when she let him in. After the robbers bad hit the
house Mrs. Cummings came and unlocked my bedchamber door.
Immediately upon being let out I alarmed the neighbourhood.—
My son, who lives near me. came with two wettensen to the boost%
but the prisoner was nut there, nor did 1 seethes until be was in
