the house of Richard Holland , of the Graig , in the county of Monmouth ( not yet taken ) , who also stands charged with being a confederate with Isgar and Austin , now in custody , and Sir J . Brigges . Isgar has been admitted King's evidence , and a warrant for the apprehension of Crosseley was last week sent up to Bow-street , where it was backed by one of the sitting Magistrates , and he was in consequence taken on Wednesday last by the officer belonging to that office ; his person being identified , he was sent under an escort to this city , and underwent an examination on Monday last , when he was committed to take his trial at our next assizes .
