TURNER--I did not, sir. SIR T. ALEYN--You did not fly! You ran away as fast as you could. JOHN TURNER--My lord, a woman cried out 'Get away, and save your life!' and not knowing what the matter was, I went away. COL. TURNER--Poor boy! he thought thieves had been coming, and affrighted him. SIR T. ALEYN--As to Ely Turner, I examined him upon the Sunday, the day after his father was committed; he would not confess the carrying of any money, and the maid swearing it, I committed him also. COL.

Aleyn said as to William Turner. _Garret_, _Watcher_, and _Culley_ were called to prove that Turner had said that the money he took to Tryon's house was his own money, and that he was going to recover the jewels; 'if any man could say that he lost sixpence of his money, or six-penny worth of his jewels, he had two fellows in custody should answer for it.' _Pilkington_ corroborated what other witnesses had said as to the account Turner gave of the way in which the robbery was committed. _Tryon_ was recalled to identify William Turner as one of the two men whom he saw in his roo
