George Costin, 22, labourer, and Ambrose Lee, 30, described as a mariner, but who is better known as " Gipsy Lee," were charged upon an indictment, and also by a coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of John Limes MU. The prisoners were also charged with robbing the same person, and with using personal violence to him at the time of the commission of the robbery. Mr. Barrow and Mr. Mersham conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton defended Costin, and Lee was undefended, but at the request of the Court Mr. Sharp watched the case:on his behalf.
