tk.
wakened, 1 dragged out of . bed', and
-liarged with the robbery, He denied
t firmly; 1. ut-the cireumstances, against
jinn were to strong, awl he was not be-
ieved. He was secure that night, and
next, day was taken be ore. al, Justice of
the 'Peace. The -gen I eman and Mr.
Burnell deposed to the acts upon oath ;
and Jennings, having n proofs, nothing
but nere assertions of ocence, which
eould not be credited, as committed to
takethis trial at the ne t assizes.
So strong seemed the case against him
that most of the man" Mends advised
him to plead guilty, an 1 throvi himself
on the mercy of the co rt. This advice
he rejected, and when Taigned, pleaded
not guilty.- The prose tor swore to the
fact of the robbery ; ti ough as it took
place in th dusk, and. the highwayman
wore a mas he could ot swear to the
pers4u of ti e prisoner, but thought him
of the same stature ne rly as the man
who 1 robbe( him. To the purse and
guineas, w len they a ere produced. in
court, he s sore, as to the purse, posi-
tively, and s to the ni rked guineas, to
the best of iis :belief ; nd he testified to-
theirt havin been takei from the poek.et
of th priso ier. .
Th, - pris ner's mas er, Mr. Brunell,
depoSed as o the sem- ig of Jennings for
the change of -a -guinea, and tO the wai-
ter's haring brought 11' n back a marked
one insteado f the one 1 e had given him
aiguinea, as meationed, came
=narked.- He also ga e evidence as to
the discoveily of _ the p tree and guineas
on the pri oner. To consuinmate the
proof the nen to wl OM Mr. Burnell
had d-th
forw _dansdi produced he- coin, testify-
ing.atp the time that he had received it
on the evening of the r bbery from the
prisoner's mister, in pa lent of a debt,
and the prosecutor, en onlparing it with
the _other nineteen SW te to its being,
to the best of his belief, one Of the -Wren-
ty marked coins; taken from hiitt by the
highwayman, and of hich the other
nineteen were:found on Jennings.
The judge siumnoned up the evidence,
pointing out all the co eurring- circum-
stanoes against the p isoner ; and the
, T
Jury, Convineed by this strong accumula-
tion oA the tpStimonya thout going out
of colirt, brought a v rdict of guilty.
Jennings was executed ome thne after -
Wards at Hull, repeat y declaring his
innoce ice up . o the t us e of his execu-
tion.
Wit lin" a:twelveinthitliafterwards,
Burnell, the master f Jennings, was
himself taken up for robbery committed
on a guest in tho house and the fact be-
fitg prdved on Itrial, he as convicted and
ordered for ex.ecution. 'The approach of
death 'brought on rep Mance and con-
fession Burnell not . nly acknowledg-
ed that he was guilty of many highway
robber es, .but owned t at he had c01I17
mitted the veiy one forwhich' Jennings
suffereil. The account which he gave
was thht after robbing the. traveler he
had re, ched home befo e , him by swiftly
riding ft11i by a neare way, That he
'
_found man at h ome, iwaiting for him;
to whdm he owed a little bill, and to
whom, not having enough -of other money
in his toket, he gave, away one of the
b
auinea which he lia,d njust obtained by
robbery. Presently th robbed gentle-
man c. me in; and he, ihile Burnell not
knowi ig of his arrival, was in the stable,
told h s tale,' as before irclated, in the
kitche . The gentle.f n had . scarcely
left thL kitchen befor Burnell entered
it, and there, to his co sternation,heard
of th factse and of t e guineas being
marke I. Ha became adfully alarm-
ed. he guinea whi h he had paid
*aava,y e dared not ask -back again '• and
as the affair :of the rol bery, as well as
the ci =stances of th marked guineas,
would soon become pi licly known, he
saw n thing ". before hira but detection,
disgrae.e and death. Jn this dilemma
the thjnnght of accusiiig and sacrificing
poor ennings oucurrcicl 'to him. The
a .

was, gave hiiii an oppor unity of conceal-
