<p>Randolph. He is now confin'd in Winchester-Goal ; we were going towards the Foundling-hospital, Dennis said, if I like this man I'll stop him, he did, holding a pistol to him, the man was the prosecutor, he said, I must have your money, he took from him 5 s. and 6 d. and some half-pence, a tobacco-box, I took out some keys out of his left hand pocket, and delivered them to Neal, he gave the prosecutor them again; I took a penknife out of his right hand pocket, the prisoner stood close by with a pistol in his hand; Neal put the money in his pocket, and said, the tobacco-box would do instead of a pistol to put to peoples heads; then we went to Highgate, and spent some of the money.</p>

. Last Friday was fortnight I had an information against Bowyer, for several robberies; we heard he used to lie in Chick-lane, we went and searched the house, and found the evidence and prisoner in bed together; we knew they had been guilty of many bad things, we saw a watch hanging by them, and there were boots and spurs; we turned the pillows over, and found two brace of pistols loaded in their pillowcases, then we searched further and found Bowyer ; we brought them all three to Clerkenwell-Bridewell, there Randolph wanted to be admitted an evidence; we took him to justice Fielding, who took his confession, this was the very first robbery he mentioned, I found the tobacco-box and penknife on Randolph; (produced in court, and the box deposed to by the prosecutor,) who said, one knife might be like another, and would not sware to that.</p>
