About January last, I had a suspicion of the prisoner, and in his lodging I saw several timbers, but none that I could swear to, but in the cellar I found two pieces which I can positively swear to; the prisoner worked very well, and I had a good opinion of him down to the time of the robbery, so good an opinion that I should not have believed any of the men.

The prisoner called five witnesses who gave him a good character, and two of them said he had a good deal of timber by him when he left business, and chests full of old hinges, and locks, and shutters, and stoves and such things.
