On the 25th of May; they were brought before the sitting justices; I came to the office between five and six, they were then in custody, at about six Mr. Croft came into the office; and we had them brought into our room and examined them; there was no one there to prove the property; we advertised it, and in a few days the person came who had been robbed.

I was one of the Jury that tried the parties upon whose trial the prisoner came to swear; I likewise saw Rook and Tyler taken into custody; one of my servants told me he saw some suspicious people out of my back window, in a room sorting linens which he thought were stolen; I went up to the window out of which my man saw them, and I saw a scuffle between the constables, and the prisoners when they came to take them; there were three, one got away; the other two were taken; this was about four in the afternoon of Monday the 25th of May; they were in custody between four and five; I cautioned Gardiner upon the trial to be careful in what he swore, but he persisted in it.
