<p>I received Mr. Taylor's coat from his porter; it was put into my cart in an inn yard by the porter; I was present when he put it in; as I was sitting in the window, I saw the prisoner go out of the yard with something under his frock; I followed him; I laid hold of him, and asked him what he had got under his frock; and I took Mr. Taylor's coat from him, upon which he went down on his knees, and begged for mercy; Taylor said his name was in the inside of it, which we found to be fact.</p>
<p>[The coat was produced in Court, and deposed to by the prosecutor.]</p>
