WILLIAM WRIGHT < no role > sworn.

I live in Fleet-street , the corner of Fleet Market; on the 26th of November, about nine in the morning I told out some money, there was a pile of twenty guineas and twenty-three half guineas, I went out about twenty-five minutes after nine o'clock, and returned in four or five minutes, and when I got back I found the window had been thrown up, and all my money gone but one half guinea.

BENJAMIN THOMAS < no role > sworn.

I am a blacksmith; I know Mr. Wright's house; on the 26th of November, I was coming down Fleet Market, on the side leading to his house; I saw a man half way in the window, by the help of a sledge that lays under the window, he stood upon that and he was about half way in the window under the sash, I saw him draw himself out as I was coming down, I thought he was conversing with somebody, and he and another ran by me as hard as ever he could; I had no suspicion of any robbery; I think the man had a cast in his eye, I cannot say, as they went by me they had like to have thrown one another down.

Court. Should you know him again? - I think I should, but I am not sure; he had then dark, or rather black clothes on.

Court. Look around the Court and see if you see any body like him. - No, really to be upon my oath, another man may be of the same size.

Court. The next witness is an accomplice, but here is no ground to identify this.

NOT GUILTY .

Tried by the London Jury before Mr. RECORDER.
