: I went with the officer, whose name I believe is Farrell, to execute the warrant; I found the things produced in a box where the prisoner lodged; he was there when I found them; I believe the box was locked and his brother opened it; they were both in the room; I believe it was his brother's room; the prisoner said the glasses belonged to his aunt; I asked where she was; he said below; I desired his brother to call her, and she came up; she said she had some glass ware but could not recollect any of these were her's; I desired her to recollect two or three times ever if any part of them were her's, or she had any like them; she said she could not recollect they were her's; I told the officer I suspected they were stole, and one piece I was certain was; it is the cup; it was made five years ago for one Mrs. Balkay; she objected to it on account of the shape, and it has remained in the warehouse ever since; the cup has a peculiarity in it; I saw it in the warehouse about two or three months before the house was broke open. The things have been in my custody ever since.

. I am under-clerk and warehouse-man to Messrs. Russell and Horne; the prisoner said before the Justice I gave him two of the glasses; the warehouse is constantly open that any body in the house may have access to it except in the night. I recollect giving one glass for his master's use; he had broke one, and came and asked for it: I gave him nothing else.

The prisoner said before the Justice that I gave him four of the falts, I have given him tumblers for the use of his master in the room of some he had broke: I never gave him any for himself in my life; he had a tumbler two or three times while he was servant there for his master's use; I cannot recollect any of the things.
