On the 12th of April I lost the things mentioned in the indictment, when I came home in the evening I missed them, I believe, I left my mother-in-law at home, my wife was out, I went to the broker's, and enquired for such things, and they told me there had not been such things for sale then, but he told me to go to the publick-house, I went to the house and found the things; the man's name is Moses; I never saw the prisoner but at the Justice's.
