, on the 20th of March last, about nine at night I was shutting up shop, and had almost got in all my things, and about five minutes before, I missed an iron stove, and I said to my mother the stove is gone, I run out immediately and looked two or three ways, and I saw two men in Short's Gardens carrying a stove, one of the men was the prisoner, and he had my stove, I took him in Short's Gardens, just by our house.

Court. How did you know that to be your father's stove? - I had taken it in and out several times, the prisoner was carrying the stove before him, I took hold of the prisoner's collar, and told him to bring it back again, he said he found it as he came along; when he came to the Justices, he said a man chucked it down, and swore he would carry it no further, any person might have it that would.

I was going home, and a man was carrying this grate along the street, and he said I am tired with carrying it, if you will carry it up as far as the Seven Dials, I will give you four-pence, I was glad to earn the four-pence, and I took it up.
