Tbe ofTence with which he is charged, we are not advised, but it might be, attempt to break in storehouse to commit robbery or something worse.

The evidence be? fore the the part of Daniel, was that on returning from a party a few nights ago about three o'clock in the morning being climbed up on a ladder to the upper window of the storehouse of White Mears, Only, and gently tapping for adinis i sion asked Mr. Mears, if he would sell him some cakes. Mr. Mears was aroused from his slumbers, according to the evidence on the other side, to find the shutter broken and window pane punched out. Daniel retreating when be had awakened Mr.Mears.was found by him later at the front door of the store.

Daniel was admitted and got the cakes. The presumption is that Daniel didn't get all he went af? ter, but when caught.thought it beBt to play the part of the innocent, and did it well.
