ISSAC MORGAN. I am a private in the 2nd regiment of Life Guards , and am servant to Lieutenant General Charles Barton ; I live with the General, at No. 1, Montague-place . About half past seven in the evening of the 27th of January, I went with a basket of clothes into Bond-street; I locked the stable door fast, and lifted the iatch, and thrust my
knee against the door, to try if it was fast; I am certain it was fast. I returned at about twenty-five minutes to nine, and then found my door open; it had been opened by a skeleton key, for the lock was not injured in the least. The stable communicates with the house. I then went up stairs, and missed the property in question.SAMUEL WILLIAM PYALL. I found all these things in the prisoner's lodgings, on the 15th of March; I found one picklock key, several skeleton keys, the crow bars, some phosphorous and matches.
SAMUEL MORTON . I am a gun-maker, and armourer to the 2nd regiment of Life Guards, and I can swear to the General's pistol.
(Property produced, and sworn to.)
GUILTY - DEATH , aged 33.
