Adjutant Dove – who is not attending the Court on the part of the prosecution.

Serjeant Lewis – Do.
Serjeant Winter – to speak to his character.
Corporal Messer – to prove that Prisr was at home in the Hosp on 12 Dec., which is totally immaterial, the robberty having bn com 15 Decr.
Peter Gibbs – to prove that prisrs life had been threatened & [thus?] he had good cause to keep a pistol
3 other Wtses to prove that he came lawfully be a golden anchor & a watch concerning which there is now no charge agt him.

The Court did not think that it was recessary to interfere in any extraordy nammer to get such Wtses subponad, & much less did they think it proper to defer the Trial till next Session of a man who has once escaped out of the Gaol.
