There , sir , '' continued he to the officer , holding out his hands , `` I deserve it all . I had not strength of mind enough to be honest . '' The handcuffs were put on Marables as well as on Fleming , and the officer , allowing me time to go down and put on my clothes , hauled up the sacks containing the valuables , and leaving two hands in charge of the barge , rowed ashore with us all in the boat . It was then about three o'clock in the morning , and I was very glad when we arrived at the receiving-house , and I was permitted to warm myself before the fire . As soon as I was comfortable , I laid down on the bench and fell fast asleep . I did not awake the next morning till roused by the police , who brought us up before the magistrates . The crowd that followed appeared to make no distinction between the prisoners and the witness , and remarks not very complimentary , and to me very annoying , were liberally made .
