JACOB WOOLF. On the 3d of July, between six and seven o'clock in the afternoon, this man went past my shop, No. 33, Ratcliff-highway ; he broke a pane of glass - my housekeeper called to me "Mr. Woolf, the man has broken a glass" - I went out and said he must pay for it; he said "Don't be frightened, I will pay for the glass - I have got no money, go with me home;" I am a foreigner - I asked my neighbours, "Shall I go home with him or not" and they said Yes; I asked where be lived - he said"Old Gravel-lane;" he took me to a very narrow street, and said "Here, I will pay for the glass" I was astonished - he knocked me on the ground; I cried Murder! he put his hand to my mouth and took my pocket-book - he took my hat up and ran away; there were three or four hundred people there, all Irishmen - I was glad to save my life and get away; the prisoner went away; I am quite sure he is the man - he was taken up in eight or nine weeks - I did not see him from the 3d of July till he was taken. Cross-examined by MR. PHILLIPS. Q. Were there not any Englishmen? A. No, all Irishmen; there came two Englishmen, and took me away; it was not another man who said he would pay me for the glass - the prisoner told me he would pay for it; I went out - the prisoner was there alone; there was no other person; I mean to say it was the prisoner who struck me - no one saw him strike me; there were three or four hundred people there. Prisoner. I was shoved against the window. Six witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. GUILTY - DEATH.
