eonnettion:wfth the robbers ; which presumption
was strengthened hum hii having exclaimed, when
,he was taked ihte custody on Sunday mornings.,
" 1, hope you'den't suspect me of having relthed St.
Paul's."
Sir Lusts SHAW, who'piesitled, entered very ha-
nutely into the case, and sifted the Prisoner imktuf
most ingenious manner, but without being able tai
glean the slightest information respecting the rob.
bery in question.
• The Prisoner gave a clear account of the manner
in which lie was occupied on Friday and, Saturday
_eights, which was Corroborated by. ether persons.
The worthy Magistrate, therefore, deemed it pro.,
per to discharge him.

form the most distant tonjokinre of the persons by.•
whom this unprecedented depredation ware commit.;
