. I lodge in his house; I heard somebody at the door; I arose, and let two men in betwixt 6 and 7 o'Clock, some day in February, I dont know the day; they had got a load, I don't know what it was; they left their load in the fore room, and said they'd come again: they enquired for the prisoner and his wife, and I said they were in bed.</p>
<p>Q. Who did they say they left the parcel for?</p>
<p>A. Peirce. They did not say they left it for any body.
