CROWN COURT , Fridat , March 1 » th . Mr . Baron Rolfe took his seat at ten minutes past niue . After the arraigning of various prisoners tor trial , and swearing of the Jury , William Ibbetson , John Grifin , and William Gawftrodger vrere placed at the bar , charged with burglary at Cookridge Hall , tbe seat of John Wormald , Esq ., near Otley , on the night of the 25 th of November last . Messrs . Knowlks and Wilkins appeared for the prosecution , lbbetson was defended by Mr . Cottingham ; Sir Gre » ort Lkwin appeared for Griffin ; Gawkrodger was undefended . ?
Jane Stewart , housemaid to Mr . Wormald , deposed , that on the night of the 25 th of last November , she fastened all the window-shutters of the drawing and other rooms about fire o ' clock in the evening . Next morning , when attempting to leave her bedroom , about seven in the morniug , she found the door fastened on the outside . She returned and tr ied another door ; found it fastened also She returned and went down the front stairs ; on getting down stairs ihe found the front Hall door open , she alarmed the house ; went with Mr . - Wor-. maid into he drawing-room , and found the window opeu and shutters haugiug on one end . John Wormald , Iivo 3 at Cookridge Hall , about four miles from Otley , on the road to Leeds . Wai
called up on the 26 . h of November , about seven in the morning by the last witness ; went down stain ; found the Hall door wide open—it had been opened from the inside ; discovered two drawers broken upen in the library ; an iron sate had been partially forced with an iron instrument , the point having been broken off was lefc in . Missed frqm the draweia , two seals , oue gold , tho othtr a Sc « tch stone , aud a gold peucil case . The drawing-room window was open ; a pane had been broken near the fastening . A book-case and two drawers were broken open in the dining-room ; two bottles of wine and brandy were taken from the cellaret in the library ; there were found in the drawuig-room , and also in the library-room , lucifor
matches ; went and entered the house . Saw footmarks from tho windows which bad been opened across the road ; he supposed , from the footsteps , that about five people had been there . Mr . Read ; the constable , afterwards fitted a boot to euo of the footmarks ; it corresponded . There was a nail in the centre of each hsel ; had gone to bed a little after ten o'clock the night before . All was fast , then . Saw ou the Monday after one of" the seals . The witness was croui-oxamiued at some length by Mr . Cottingham , who defended Griffin , with the purpo .-o of shewing that in the confusion consequent upon the burglary some of tho servants might have taken the sealM , &o . ; but nothing tending to confirm suoh an idea was elicited .
Several of Mr . VVormald ' s servants were called , who deposed that lbbetson had been abuutthehouae and premises on the day before the robbery , inquiring for Mr . Wormald . William Hales and James Rochford , watchmen , ou duty at tho time , apprehended Ib betson , near Hoadiugley . oa the morning of the roboery , about hilt ' -pan tout o ' clock ; ho was searched but no property was found on him . Edward Read , chief constable , of Leeds , deposed , that in consequence of information from Mr . Wormald , he went to Cookridgo Hall on the morning after the robb . ry . The prisoner , Ibbetson , was then in custody . He compared the prisoners boats with some of tho foot marka outside Mr . W . 's house , and found them to correspond exactly . There is a nailxather promiuuntlyplaoed in the centra oi ° each heel . The boots were produced .
John Jackson , glasi-blowcr , of liunslet , was next called , aud stated that in November lusi ho was committed to York Cabtlo for poaching . The prisoner Ibbtitsou came there about a week afterward * , and about tureo or four weeks after that he made a statement to him . Tne witness then proceeded to give a long and very circumstantial detail of the whole robbery as stated by lbbetson to have been committed by himself and otliors . in chu midst of this story , Ibbetson made an application to the Court to withdraw his plea ot" Not Guilty , andiplead Guilty , saying that his Attorney ( meaning we suppose his Counsel ) had thrown him overboard , and that it was useless to proceed with the case . The other two men were innocent . Tho Junek refused to allow the plea to be withdrawn and ordered the case to go on . Tho witness was rery severely cross-examined by Mr . Cl'TTINUHAM .
Robert Lawson , shoemaker , Leeds , deposed to hav . ng purchased the seal produced from Griffin at tho housu of Matthew Strakcr for 7 s . Straksr came up to his shop andauked him to buy it . On crogs-oxamination by Mr . Cottingham , this witness admitted that ho had bought things of Straker before ; that he was employed to buy the seal by Mr . Head ; that he had been in tho employ of Mr . Read some months ; aud that his practice liad been to obtain the confidence of persons of a particular description for the purpose ot betraying them to the police ; some of the parties had been his intimate friends lor several years . Ho had been in prison for felony about twelve years ago . Wra . Johnson , formerly a lodger in tho house of Gawkroger ' a mother , deposed that in tho latter end of JNovflmber last , Gawkrodger shewed him tho seal , and stated that it was the property of Matthew Snake . - , and was for sale .
Mr . Cottisqham , on behalf of Ibbetson , addressed the Jury iu defence . They would dismiss from their minds auy prejudice arisiug from the statement made by tho prisoner of his wish to plead guilty . They would jidge from the evidence . Hu thon went through tho evidence against Ibbetson in detail . Sir Gregory Lkwin , on behalf of Griffin , was most bitterly severe ou the witness Lawnon , and oa the Leeds Police , for the system of entrapping prisoners , by obtaining their oonfidenco in the way of espioua ^ o . Tho Learned Judcs summed up with great minuteness , and spoko at great length on the several points of the evidence as against eaoh of tho prisoners separately . The Jury consulted for some minutes , aud then returned a verdict of Guilty against Ibbotson , and Not Guilty against the other two .
BURGLARY . Edward Townend , William Gawkrodger ( the prisoners iutholastcase ) , a . ndCharle * Wilson , were then put to the bar , charged with a burglary at the house of Amnziah Empson , Esq .. of Stavely , near Kuaresbornugh , on the 28 ru ot December last . Messrs . Cottingham and Blansiiard appeared for the prosecution . Tho prisoners were undefended . Mr . Cottingiiam opened the case , and called Thomas Rushby , butler to Mr . Eoipson , who fastened the windows of the diuiug-room about five o ' clock on the night in question . He fastened the
front door . A large stiver sugar-basin , mustard-pot , sa ! t-ccllar , two large spoons , two amah forks , oue tcaspoen , a salt-spoon , and mustard-spoon were left on the dining-room table , on a tray . In tho morning , he found tho bolta of the front door drawn , and the keys taken away . The door was shut back : not locked . Tho witness then proceeded to detail tho articles of missing property , all the plate previously mentioned , and some other articles . He found two chisels ou tne tray whence the plate had been taken . There were marks on tho window and the shutter of the dining-room , such as would be made by those chisels .
Charles Wood , an accomplice , was noxfc called . Has known Gawkrodger a long time . Never knew Wilson till the niglm of the robbery . Has known Toivnend two or three years . Tbe witness then pro-Cv'udavi . in answer to'question ' s from counsel , to givo a lon # aud circumstantial account of the burglary , as committed by himself and the three prisonerswf the bringing away of the property , and hiding of it in Harewood Park—of his returning to fetch it on the following day , and soiling it to one Harris , a general dealer , living in Templar-street , by whom iutorraation being given to Read , he waB taken into custody . His testimony was confirmed iu many important poiuts by other witnesses , aud the Jury found ail the prisoners Guilty .
Sentences . —John Slraker , John Thomas , Henry Greenwood , John Gnffiu , Witiiam Jbbetson , Edward Townend , William Gawkrodger , and Char let Wilson , ali of them very youug men , ( Griffin only 17 yearn of age , ) and all having been convicted of burglary , were placed at the bar to receive judgment . On the usual question being put , Thomas stated that he had a witness now in attendance , who could provo his innocence of the crime with which ho was charged , and who was most anxious to give his testimony . The witness was in attendance yesterday , but was hurried out of Court , aud prevented from returning . He prayed , therefore , that this witness might now be examined . This could not be done . The prisoner holding a paper in his hand , the Learned Judge requested it might be handed to him . it was so , but no refor-enco was made to its contents . The Judge
addressed the prisoners in a short and very severe speech , in which he stated that the prisoners evidently constituted part , if not the whole , of a regularly organised gang of depredators , by whom the neighbourhood of Leeds had been lor . c infested . It bad seldom been his lot , in the course of bit judicial ( experience , to fiud burglaries more deliberately planned , and determinedly executed , than , those of which they had been convicted ; nor hftd he seen many cases ib which ths proof * of guilt were more conclusive . It was plain that i they had been leading dissolute and abandoned lives , and he should tako care that for a very long portion of their remaining lives they should work hard and tare ill . His Lordship then proceeded to een ' tence' them to bo respectively transported beyond the seas for the term of liiteen yeara .

C . Wm . Ti n g le pleaded guilty of stealing , on the fch JanuVry * at Hoyland , from the house of John Addy , £ 16 v * i ° sovereigns and half sovereigns , his property . A fterwards , Tingle being asked if ho had anything , to B * 7 > 8 * id the money was the property of his sisfct / r , and he aid not intend to steal it . The Jutdge replied that was , that he was not guilty , and , therefore , permitted the prisoner to withdraw his plea , and plead , not ' -guilty . -
Mr . WoftTLsr , with whom was Mr . Ovebend , for the prosecution , opened ihe case . A short time before the robbery , the prisoner ' s wife waa at the prosecutor ' s house , and had the opportunity of knowing where the money was , which the ^ proBecutor imprudently kept in his house . Subsequently , -the prisoner waa at the house , and slept there one night . The next morning , Addy ' g wife went oat , leaving tbe prisoner in bed , and , on her return , in a short time , the prisoner was gone Out , and she found that the money was gone . The next day he was at Rotherham with a considerable sum of money , and a purse was found iu the house whare ke was taken , in which partof the money had been contained . Mary Addy , the prosecutor ' s wife , and sister of the prisoner , proved that the vreek before Christian
the prisoner ' * wife' aud daughter were at her huaband's house , and saw her fetoh change from the cupboard , where the money was kept in her bedroom . On the 8 th of Jauuary , the prisoner came and slept that night at their house . Her husband went out early in the morning to work . Between eight and nine witness went out to tho butcher ' s , leaving the prisoner in he 4 , and the money safe in the cupboard , which was iocked . On returning home in about three quarters of an hour , she found that he waa gone ; and , feeling apprehensive , went straight to the oupboard , found her money was gone ,
the cupboard lock having been picked . A servant to Mr . Wnne , of the Traveller's Inn , Westgate , Rotherham , proved that on the 9 th of January , the prisoner aud two other men came to White ' s house in Rotherham , and the prisoner sent them with a parcel to Sheffield ; the prisoner then changtd his stockings in the bar , and put a suit of new clothes on over his old onei . He said he was travelling for hia father , and had plenty of money , and took out a puree which he said contained £ 150 . Tho prisoner then went out , leaving his boots . She . told her master ( Mr . White ) what had passed , and he told her not to give up the boats .
Mr . White , tho landlord , proved that he sent for Woinack , and that the prisoner denied that his name was Tingle , from Sheffield ; but said that he was fr ^ m Bristol . The prisoner said he had no moHey but a few shillings . Henry Womack corroborated the last witnes 3 as to tho apprehension and searching the prisoner . The prisoner denied that he had been at Hoyland , or k < ietv such a place . He refused to be searched till Womack produced his staff . The money , £ 78 in sovereigns and half sovereigns , was found in several of the prisoner ' s pockets . He proauced a purse clasp , which he had received from Ann Wright , the servant of tho Ship Hotel . Anne Wright , servant at the Ship Hotel , proved that on the . Oth of January , the prisoner was at that house , and by the direction of Bland , she searched the ashes of the fire-place , and found a purse clasp which Mr . Addy identified .
Mr . John Blaud proved that , on a further search of the prisoner ' s wife at tho gaol , were found upon her £ 17 l 0 i . in « old . The Jury found tho prisoner Guilty , and the Learned Judge said ho was not sure he was doing right in not sentencing the prisoner to the severest punishment provided by the law . It was a great aggravation that he had gone to the house of a relative , where he was sure to be kindly treated , with the preconcerted design of robbing them ot all they had . — -Two years' imprisonment .
HORSE STEALING . Robert Henderson and Jeremiah Barlow were charged with stealing a black mare , the property of Francis Pa ween . Mr . Baines and Mr . Wortlet for tho prosecution , aud Mr . Pashlet for the defence . The first wituess was Francis Pawson , who stated he went to Rothorhani December fair with a black mare to sell , and thero he saw Henderson with a bay horse , which Barlow appeared to be trying to buy , but Henderson taid he wauld not take £ 12 for
it . Henderson looked at Bawson ' s mare , which he HOt him to walk outside of the fair , and Barlovr tapped Pawson ou the shoulder , and said if he would swap the mare , for which ho asked £ 11 , for the horse , ho would « ive him £ 12 forthehoree . After some bargaining with Hcuderson , thuj did swap , and Pawson went towards Barlow to get the £ 12 for the horte , but several personB camo between them aud stopped him while the prisoners made off as fast as they could with the mare . Pawson gave information to Bland , and a few hours after he saw the prisoners iu custody .
Ci'OBd-examined by Mr . Pasiiley—Before the prisoners wero taken into custody , I sold the horse tor 25 s . Gd ., which 1 thought more than it was worth . I have had a little conversation with Barlow , who has beeu on bail . I did not say I would have douo nothing if the coustable had not forced me . I said to his father that if they would give back the mare , and pay tho oxpences , 1 would not go on with it . Re-examjncd—I would not set a price on . the horse till after I had looked after the men . It waa one of tho four meu who stopped that urged me till ue sold him the bay horse for 25 s . 6 d . I had not examined Henderson ' s horse till after we had swapped .
George Dobson , fishmonger , of Rotherham , wa » in tho fair , and saw Henderson lead a bay horse , and BaWowjust by him , and Barlow said , " Will you take £ 5 for the tho horse , " which Henderson refused . Dobson afterwards saw Henderson leading a black mare , at a trot , down the fair , and Barlow hit her behind to urge her on . He saw them again in the afternoon , in custody , wheu one of them had got a macintosh on , and the other a Binockfrock . In the morning they were dressed as now .
Robert Marshall , beerhouse-keeper , of Ro $ herham , proved that on tho afternoon of th « fair , tlu ^ risouers came to his bouse with a black mare , which they said might remain till tney came for . They drai . k together . Cross-examined—The mare remained from Tuesday to Thursday , when Pawson got her again . My house is iu a puulic street , and was full of company . Pigeon , policeman , of Koth&rham , proved that he saw the prisoners going together up and down tho fair during the day . John Bland , in consequence of the information of Pawson , sought the prisoners , whom he at last apprehended in the fair . He had seen them iu the early part of the day with four or five others . Iu the afternoon the dresses they had worn in the morning were covered by a macintosh and a smocktrock .
Mr . Pashlet , for Barlow , submitted there was no felony , because there was no trespass , which was involved in it . He argued that Pawson voluntarily parted with tho mare , and though there might have been fraud , that was not the charge in this iudictment . He cited several cases m support of the objection . Mr . Baines replied that there was no evidence for the Jury that the prosecutor did not mean fully to part with his mare , till ho had not only received the horse , but also the £ 12 for tho horse . If it had been a mere exchange and uo more , then his Learned Friend was right , and the ca . so was a fraud . Tho
subsequent salo of the horse was ouly of value as bearing upon the intention of the prosecutor in the transaction , which was the real question for the Jury . The precise moment of the larceny was , when the prisoner began to move off with tbe mare without the payment of the £ 12 . lu support of this argument , Mr . Baines adduced several cases , and urged it was for the Jury to say whether they thought tho prisoners meant Sonet Jide to purchase the mare , aud whether tha inteutiou of the prosecutor was not to part with bis horae till the transaction was complete .
Mr . Wobtley argued that this was a joint bargain , aud the delivery of tho mare waa conditional . Mr . Pjisulet argued that the " swap" with Hbuder = ou must be complete before the sale to Barlow . His Lordship was of opinion that the man meant to part with his mare , though he had been defrauded as to the expectation that induced him to do so . If the Jury agreed with this , ii waa a gross fraud , but not a felony , aud they must therefore acquit th « prisoners . The Jury found the prisoners Not Guilty . Mr . Baines applied to have them detained that they might be indicted for fraud , but His Lordship declined to make any order in thft matter . Another indictment was then preferred .
