[otherwise called Long Charles.]</p>
<p>Q. What are you?</p>
<p>Remmington. I am a cabinet maker.</p>
<p>Q. Are not you a thief-taker?</p>
<p>Remmington. If they fall in my way I take them sometimes. I saw the Prisoner take this handkerchief out of Mr. Hamilton's pocket, and go to put it into his own.</p>
<p>Prisoner. Mcdonald is the person who took the handkerchief out of the gentleman's pocket, and now he wants to push it upon me. They are the greatest rogues and thief-takers in the world; they do it for the sake of the reward.</p>
<p>Q. Is not the reward an inducement to you to give testimony.</p>
<p>Remmington. No; it is no inducement to me, the King's crown should not be an inducement to me.</p>
<p>A Juryman of London. I knew Remmington an errand boy when he first came to town, and he took naughty ways, and would not stay with his master: he is a naughty man.</p>

- I am an Irishman.</p>
<p>Q. What trade are you?</p>
<p>Mcdonald. I am of the same trade now. I keep a house of 12 l. a year in Water-Lane in Fleet-Street: four or five of us went out that day to pick up thieves in the city.</p>
<p>Q. How long have you practised this?</p>
<p>Mcdonald. Two or three years. I saw the Prisoner follow Mr. Hamilton pretty close, and saw him pick the handkerchief out of his pocket, and I laid hold of him with the handkerchief in his hand.</p>
<p>Prisoner. He has been an evidence, and hanged two or three people.</p>

Hind. Mcdonald is a sword cutler - he is a man of credit; I know no other of him - I believe him to be an honest man now - I am a flax dresser by trade.</p>
<p>Q. Does Mcdonald keep a publick house?</p>
<p>Hind. He sells beer and liquor - He is a sword cutler by trade, he fitted up a hanger for me once - I wanted a hanger, because I go to take up these sort of people. We went out on purpose on Lord Mayor's Day to take up some of the Black Boy Alley people. I was concerned in taking those who were tried last sessions.</p>
<p>Prisoner. Hind says he lodges at an alehouse, but he keeps a bawdy-house in Chancery Lane.</p>
<p>Hind - I do live in Chancery Lane; it is not a licensed house, it is a private house.</p>
<p>Q. The Boy knows you all?</p>
<p>Hind. That shews he is the greater rogue. About five Minutes before I saw him put his hand into a man's pocket, and pulled out nothing; that was the reason we followed him. <rs id="t17450116-19-verdict114" type="verdictDescription"> <interp inst="t17450116-19-verdict114" type="verdictCategory" value="guilty"></interp>
