SECOND COUNT, the same, only stating it to be fixed to a building. ROBERT NORTHERN ROPE . I am a carpenter. George Ford 's house is in Five-fields, Chelsea ; my garden runs at the bottom of his. On the 29th of April, about half-past eight o'clock in the evening, I was in my garden, and saw the prisoner, Lancashire, get over the wall, the other two were on the premises. Knowing they had been robbed before I went in doors, got a stick, returned, andsaw there was more than one. I went to the York depot, and got a corporal, who went in front of the house. I returned to the garden, and saw a bag containing lead put on the wall, I climbed over the wall and pushed it back, the prisoners then let go, and retreated into the wash-house; they were Lancashire and Parker - I got a light, and on opening the door I found them there, they had moved the cistern from the wash-house. We found Blake in the coal-cellar in the area, he pretended to be intoxicated. A soldier came down, he then recovered, and denied having any one with him, but on coming into the yard the other prisoners said "Tom, where is your hat?" A hat was found in the wash-house, which he claimed. JAMES STRICKLAND . I am a corporal in the second regiment of Guards. Rope informed me there were thieves in the house, I placed two soldiers in front, and two went with me; I observed a bag of lead on the wall, and found Lancashire and Parker in the wash-house - Blake was brought out of the coal-cellar.
