the chair-coolles, Constables were sent out, and they arrested the 2nd defondant, while the lat was brought down from his room. The question for the Jury was whether there was sufficient connection between the two: prisoners to make the 2nd prisoner liable as having acted in conosrt with the
firat.
Evidence was then taken, similar to that which was adduced before the Magistrate,
The prisoners then made their defence, which was substantially the same as that they gave at the Police Court.
The 1st prisoner said he happened to pass the 2nd prisoner and Warneford, and did not know anything of the robbery until he was told so by Bergeant Swanston at the Charge Room. As to the 2nd witness, one of the obair-coolies who carried Warne ford, he had known him before, having had occasion to atrike him several times for street obstruction,
The End prisoner stated that he went with the prosecutor to the Stag Hotel, thence to the Star Tavern where they had some drinks and met with some men-of- war's men. He had some drink in him; and did not know when Warneford left the tavern. He was afterwards told that Warneford was wanting to fight with some men outside, and he went out to put him Into a chair, and was going to take him back to the Sailors' Home. He was drowsy from the liquor be bad taken, and although he was not exactly asleep, he had his eyes shut, and did not know until he found the chair was let down. He did not know that Warneford had been robbed and was look- fog for him when he was met by Sergeant Lindsay.
His Lordship then summed up, and in the course of his observations he said, P. O. Westroaked an opportunity of explaining bia extraordinary conduct in regard to the dollar he received from the 1st prisoner, and it seemed to his Lordship that the or planation was fairly satisfactory.

The Jury then returned a unanimous verdiet of guilty against the 1st prisoner, And of not guilty against the 2nd.
In discharging the 2nd prisoner, ble Lordship said he had had a narrow escape, and he thould be careful in future of the company he got into. With regard to the 1st prisoner bis Lordship reserved sentence, she wished to consider the provision of the Ordinance concerning larceny by Pulice
mėn.
The Attorney General called attention to the loss of time the chair-coolies had been put to in this care, and to the prosecutor's detention here on account of this case, and of his loss of several situations.
His Lordship said the chair-coolies' con duct was very highly praiseworthy, and he would recommend them strongly to the Governtient for a reward. The coolies were called up and bad this explained to
them.
The Sessions were then adjourned till Wednesday next at 10 am. Jurors need not attend.

Of a crew thirteen men in the boat one managed to get inside the paddle box of the steamer, where he remained until arrival in port, when he was taken out but little the worse for his unexpected trip.
