On Friday night, the 28th January, I went to bed about eleven o'clock—I was the last person up—the house was safe—the back parlour shutter was not shut, because we could not shut it, the hinge being broken—it was an outside shutter—the window was down but not fastened—about six o'clock in the morning (barely six o'clock I heard the front door slam, and my husband hastened down—as soon as could get something on I went down and found the back parlour window open—there are gardens which run all along the backs of the houses-knew was a ladder at the back parlour window, which had been brought from the next house but one—I missed Mr. Oliver's great coat, a dozen table and dessert knives and forks, some shells, six silver spoons, a pair of sugar

<lb/>pressions were made—I made fresh marks with the boots to see that the impression was correct—in consequence of something Mary Douglas, the female searcher at the station, said to me, I went with Gowran
<hi rend="italic">to</hi> No. 7. Old Castle-street, which is at the bottom of Wentworth-street—I there found a box locked—Mrs. Thomas gave me the key—I opened the box, and found in it a great coat which I produce.</p>

<hi rend="italic">Haslams Defence.</hi> It was intimated in the last case, that I and Eliza

<lb/>perty brought to the cottage; I said it was no use, and told her to sell it; she took it to her father, and thinking she came by it honestly, he said he would purchase it; the boots Williams had on, I gave him, as he was in want of a place, and friendless; I took him to the cottage, and said I would always be a friend to him, if he was a good boy; he did not know how the property came there.</p>
