I returned at half-past nine o'clock, and stopped there an hour, in consequence of suspicion. I heard some person coming down stairs. The prisoner came into the room where I was concealed with a bag on his back. He looked out of window to see if any one was watching him, as the watch-house is opposite, and then turned and walked down stairs. I went to the window, and told the watchman, who was coming by, to stop him - he brought a light, and I unlocked the door. He came in and found the prisoner concealed under a work-bench. The bag was behind the street-door with 60 lbs. of lead in it, which was afterwards fitted to the roof and tallied with it. ALEXANDER FRAZIER . I am a watchman. Martin called me. I found the prisoner concealed under the carpenter's bench and the bag in the passage. RICHARD COATES . I took the prisoner in charge, and fitted the lead to the roof. He had got the whole gutter away, and found a knife on him which appeared to have ripped it. Prisoner's Defence. I went after my tools. GUILTY . Aged 20. Transported for Seven Years .
