; soon after we got into a house; the prisoner came in and the door was bolted and locked; I demanded to be let out, they said I should not, without I made the prisoner a present; I gave her 2 s. then they would not let me go without giving the other woman 2 s. after I had done that, they demanded two more a-piece; I insisted on going out; the prisoner put her hand into my pocket where the 15 l. was and took out six guineas and six shillings; I then got out and got a constable; the prisoner was taken the same night; they offered me three guineas to make it up; I am sure the prisoner's hand was in my pocket; I had only eight guineas left out of the fifteen.</p>
