got upon the rails, in order to get into the house, but jumped down again, upon some people's coming along; when the street was silent, he got up again, went into the house, and handed out one bundle of linen to <rs type="persName" id="t17441205-36-person443"> <interp inst="t17441205-36-person443" type="role" value=""></interp>

, then he handed out another bundle of linen, and gave it to Billingsly: I took the two bundles of linen from those two, and then he handed out a coat and waistcoat to Morris.</p>
<p>Q. What did you do with them?</p>
<p>Harper. We took coach in Holbourn, and went to Duke's-place, but Morris walked there?</p>
<p>Q. Where does the Prisoner live?</p>
<p>Harper. I don't know, but I have heard them say he lives in Houndsditch, for only Morris went in with the things, and he met us afterwards at the Plaisterer's-arms in Duke's-place - this was about nine o'clock at night, there were three other Jews looked over them before the Prisoner, but did not bid so much for them by a guinea. I saw <rs type="persName" id="t17441205-36-person444"> <interp inst="t17441205-36-person444" type="role" value=""></interp>

pay four pounds sixteen shillings for those goods, and the money was equally divided between us.</p>
<p>Q. Was it in the Prisoner's presence?</p>
<p>Harper. I can't say that, but he sat and drank three or four pots of beer with us afterwards.</p>
<p>Q. Did the Prisoner discourse with Morris before you about buying of them?</p>
<p>Harper. No otherwise than between themselves; I saw Morris and him go out of the house together, Morris had the plate in his pocket, and the rest of the things in a handkerchief when they went out; Morris said he had got nine-pence a yard for the cloth, four shillings and six-pence an ounce for the silver, and twenty six shillings for the cloaths.</p>
<p>Q. What did the Prisoner give the money for?</p>
<p>Harper. I can't tell, only as Morris informed me, to be sure he would not give us the money for nothing; Morris said he wished he had money enough, and he would have bought them himself, for he thought them worth more money.</p>

Levi, that in case I had got my goods again, I might be the more easy with her son; we found Levi in Duke's-place, and he desired I would bring the goods, and he would look at them; said I, Bring your weights and scales to the Plaisterer's-arms, but he would not come; he said he did not care to go any farther, for he was a little in debt; he came a little way, and then he said his mind misgave him; said I, there's the woman above who has the goods. I found he was for turning back, and I took fast hold of him, and took hold of his breeches, and said, Lawrence, cock your pistol: Lawrence said, I design to do it; Levi took hold of me, and tore my waistcoat and shirt almost to pieces; then one of the women took hold of him, and we secured him. <rs id="t17441205-36-verdict234" type="verdictDescription"> <interp inst="t17441205-36-verdict234" type="verdictCategory" value="notGuilty"></interp>
