HALL.--There is but one conversation between them you have.  1 . Mr. AL:tux—There is one witness which heard a conversattou between the female prisoner and another woman, which rer gored that she was aware of it; and the conversation between the two prisoners at the George and Guy, shows that Gamble 'knew of it; and another witness, the waiter at the Spotted Dog speaks to the same effect. It is quite clear that both the prisoners are in possession of part of the deceased's property; they deny having possession of them at first; then [ say the possession of the deceased's property pioves that, after the murder, Good hastened to London, and carriedsoff the-property of the deceosed ; a great part of this he took to' the house of Mary Good, and, through her instrumentality, a part of it is taken to the house of Gamble, there it is concealed, and there it is found. If I am right in the conclusions I draw, I say there is ample evidence to put these prisoners upon their trial on the charge of being accessories after the fact of the murder ; or if not that, the fact of their having the goods and denying the possession of them without being able to account fur it, is in my opinion quite sufficient to warrant you in putting them upon their trial for being accessories: after the fact.: No doubt if the deceased were the wife of Daniel Good, there would be an end of the case, and if Mary dood were his wife, she could not be an accessory either with respect to the murder or the goods. A wife may be concerned in a murder jointly with her husband ; but she would be considered in law sub protestati viri. There is not, however, the slightest evidence of the deceased being the wife of Daniel Good, or to show that Mary Good is, or ever was, the wife of Daniel • Good. The case must, therefore, be treated as if neither of them were his wife. The ease against Gamble, with re-, spect to his being found in possession of this property, is very strong. He is' seen on the 11th in the house of this woman, and that is the first time we find them together. On the 12th, too, and on the 14th, he is, seen to go into her house and to come out; and on the 16th the goods are found under his bed. I do not mean to say that this implies any attempt at secrecy, because there might have been no other place of safety wherein to deposit the property. I Cannot help thinking on the whole that, A should have no hesitation in saying that he ought to be pat upon his trial as a receiver of stolen property. Utter all the circumstances I think I shall commit him on this part of the case. With respect to Mary Good, the ease against her as .accessory after the fact is much stronger than against Gamble.— (The worthy Magistrate toen recapitulated the principal 1 points in the eridepce, and he then continued):—'these are all very strong facts; but I think the best and safest course I can adopt, is to commit them both as receivers of stolen property, leaving it to the gentlen concerned in the prosecution to prefer any other charge which they may think proper. Mr. BUrnalay, the Chief Clerk, then commenced reading the depositions, which occupied a considerable time ; they were concluded by six o'clock, when the w4esses were all bound over to prosecute, and the primers were fully committed to take their trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions on the charge of receiving ..stelen property, well khowing it to have been stolen; Mary Good applied to know if she might have the money which had been found upon her, and which the polite had taken from her, for the purpose of procuring tome comforts for herself whilst in prison. Mr. Haut granted the osppbeation, and also made as order that the 1/. 10s. fond, on Gamble shoald be given up; to him. The prisoners were then removed from the bar, and were siaortly tter conveyed to Newgate, in the prison-van..
