Of John Barnett, butler, on the night OF
the 25th of August. The prosecutor
stated that he was walking near the
Grand hotel, Islington, shortly after
midnight on the day named, and was
rather the worse for liquor Two men
came UP to him and took the ring from
his finger before he had time 10 resist.
He managed To catch hold of them
both, but the prisoner arrived and res
cued them, ana they all made of. He
did not see the prisoner again until
Wednesday night when he saw him Up
tho same neighborhood and at 0nae
rave him into custody. He added
that the ring WAS given 10 him by Gen.
Stonewal Jackson, in Anericas BY
whom he had been employedsas as valet.
The prisoner said he knew nothing oi
the matter, adding: Before God and
man / swear l am innocent MIR.
Hannay said there was not ssnfheien'
