addressing the prisoner, said, that in consequence of
his good character it was his duty to order him to be
discharged; but he could not help observing, that the
circumstances thathad been stated on Wednesday were
so very strong against him, that the prosecutors were
fully justified in having taken him into custody.—
The manner in which he had been previously seen
looking over the premises, and the circumstance of his
red silk handkerchief having been found upon the floor
'after the alarm was given, tended to excite a suspi-
Cion that he was the individual who had broken into
the house in question ; as, however, the evidence cow
riven tended to throw greater doubt upon the sub-
ject he should consent tp the prisoner being disclia?g.
ed, and he hoped he would be very careful of his
future conduct.
