SIR T. ALEYN--We saw one which was sealed, I think, with the bishop of Chichester's seal. _Ann Ball_ proved that Mr. and Mrs. Turner had left some money at her house with the maid. The maid went to her sister and acquainted her with it. In this way the knowledge of the money came to Sir T. Aleyn. _Frederick Ixam_ was present when the bags were taken out of the wallets at Mr. Tryon's house: three of them had no seals; one had a seal very much defaced; one had a seal which was the same as that on a letter from the bishop of Chichester produced by Mr. Tryon. The bags were in court. _Hanson_ and _Mr. Tryon_ proved the agreement of the seals, and the bishop of Chichester's letter, which was produced. _Cole_, a serjeant, and his brother, a yeoman, proved that they arrested Turner in a civil suit about three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Soon after the constable came and charged them to assist in taking him before Sir T. Aleyn. By and by I was saying, Col. Turner, how could this house be robbed, and none of the doors broke? O, said he, I took a man in the Minories, who has discovered it to me; he told me that one going into the cellar in the daytime lay there till night, then went upstairs, found a candle and lit it, took the key from his bedside, and went down and let all of the rest of the thieves in. The young man being there, said, It was well the maid and I was not at home, we should have been killed. No, says he, you would not have been killed, only bound. TURNER--As the fellow told me. HYDE, LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Did he say nothing touching Mr. Tryon's tooth? COLE--He said, that the fellow putting his finger in his mouth to gag him, the old gentleman bit him; and in struggling to get out his finger, pulled out his tooth. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--You are very perfect at it, Mr. Turner, every way. TURNER--Ay, my lord, I examined him every way. _Peter Vanden-Anchor_ and _Chaplain_ were the first people who entered the house after the robbery, and described the state in which they found it, and how they unbound Mr. Tryon. The latter examined the servants as to their movements; Hill, the manservant, said that he and the maid had been at supper with Turner; but the maid said she had been at the house of one Chamberlin, a goldsmith. _Christmas_ described how he had been arrested at two in the morning, but had been discharge
