TO THE EDITOR OF THIE TIMES. Sir,-The uwidersigned being nearly tie wvholeof the late jury as- sembled tar the trial of Willianm Ramsden Robinson, on a charge of robbery, preferred against him by Samuel Dolby, of WVardour- street, St. James's, tar stealing certain books, have seen, with very extraordinary sentiments of surprise and disgust, a statement made in your paper ot this nmornintg, July 21, 1824, namely-" That the jury, subsequently to the verdict giveni by them on the above trial, expressed their regret at the circumistance ot their having given such verdict, having done it under an erroneous impression." The statement, Alr. LEditor, the undersigned miost unequivocally now declare to be utterly riase, no such impression having been en. tertained by any one of us, either at the tiine or subsequently, and that we are now, as we then were, perfectly and conscientiously con. vincetl of tie prisoner's guilt, nor has any circumstance transpired to disturb the unauimous verdict then given. It is not wittout feelings the iiost acute that tie undersigned lhave occasion to revert to the tsubject in any shape, after havinig deli- veredl their testimony in such a place, and undter such peculiar cir cuinstances; but consider themselves bound in justice to make the above statement of.facts, in orderto preserve that consistency of col- duct they trust they have hitherto sustainet in society. The undeisigned were anxious the above siatemcnt shiould mleet the public eye as speedily as possible, after that receivecd by thesn this miorning; and therefore it appears with only 11 signatures, Alr. Jobn Wetiherell being absent from London, and not in poasession of what has transpired. They, however, feel not the least.hesitation in pledging thenmselves thatit willsubsequently appear before the nublic. accomDaniett with that zentleman's siesature.
