It appeared by the evidence of a man named Smith. *he
works at a Insure opposite to Mr. Stokes* that about eight
o'clock that oporning. a buy came in to him lii .1 told him
there was two very sospicious. looking men larking about
the door of Mr. Stokes's !sense, which was open, and evi-
dently designed to entre it. Smith watimed for a little
time, and saw the prisoner enter the house; and return
with the barometer produced in his hand ; he then joined
the other man, and both ran off towards St. Hiles's. Smith
however, porpite,t, and the prisoner finding iiiro•elf closed
open, turned round and flung tke barometer at the sitsitms,
and. of course smashed it, as it now. appeared. He
was at letistb arearSd; - bat his compricion made his.
escape. . .
The prisoner said in his defence* that he could not deny
the charge, but was driven to the commission of the offence
by the most orgiit distress and waist. He was folly com-
mitted for trial.
