Herbert sworn—l live at New Inn; I was shooting near my house in January, 1841; a policeman joined me; I had fired at a snipe and went to pick him up; some little boys who followed said, here are more fowlers coming;” I looked in the direction and saw three men armed advancing; I presented and they presented; they said they would have life if I did not give up my gun; I said perhaps I would have one of them down first; they then shed on me and I surrendered at discretion (laughter); I could not identify any of them. Mr. Rolleston—Were you afraid Mr. Herbert that day. Mr. Herbert—l cannot say I was, but I did not feel very comfortable (laughter). Sgt Constable Cotter sworn—l was with the Rev. Mr. Herbert the day his gun was taken; the prisoner the man who took the powder horn out of his pocket; I had his shot pouch, and one of them swore he’d blow my bowels out, if I did not give up the pouch.
