It appeared, that one                Tho. Chance             and                Will. Eaton            , were in the same Robbery; that they opened the Prosecutor's window, and entering the rooms where the goods were, carry'd them away; and one of the Evidence deposed, that the goods were brought to her by the Prisoner, and the other two Confederates to be sold, who told her they took them out of a House in Bedford-Row. She also deposed, that she sold the Goods for them at 3 s. an ounce, which is the most can be had for such Goods. The Evidence being very plain as to the Felony, but not as to the Burglary, and the Prisoner having little to say, the Jury brought him in                                                          guilty of Felony only            .</p>               <p>                                                                                                [Transportation.
