Bristol Assizes. James Harris, aged 17, George Dudley, aged 16, and George Neale, aged stood indicted for burglary in the house of Edmund Saunders in Horfield-road, and stealing 2s. In silver. The two first-named prisoners got into the house about o’clock on the morning of the 31st October; but were disturbed by Mr. Saunders, when they jumped out the parlour window and were immediately apprehended by Vickery and Stephens, Night - Constables, and the watchmen. The third prisoner, Neale bad been seen watching, and was apprehended by same Officers. His connexion with Harris and Dudley was satisfactorily proved.—Harris, who is hardened offender, cross-examined Mr. Saunder’s servant girl, as follows : Prisoner—What country-woman are you? Witness—l am an Irish girl. Prisoner—l suppose you are Catholic. Witness—Yes, I am. Prisoner—My Lord, to have this girl sworn her own country religion ! On the cross-examination of one of the watchmen. Harris asked—Will you swear that we were the persons that jumped out of the window? Watchman—l will. Prisoner, Harm—My Lord. ’IU not necessary to put the Court to further trouble I’m guilty, my Lord but Neele and the boy are innocent. The prisoners were all found guilty, with a recommendation to mercy in favour of Dudley, on account of his youth.—The prisoner Neele was tried our last Assizes for burglary, and acquitted ; and both Harris and Neele were tried Sessions in October for robbing the cabin of vessel Cumberland basin, but acquitted.
