; the prisoner came to our shop that day about eleven o'clock to look at a scarlet waistcoat; I shewed him several; then he asked for a strong coat, after that a waistcoat with sleeves, I had never a one to shew him; then he asked for a boy's coat and waistcoat of about fourteen years of age, I shewed him some, he said he did not like them; I looked at his sack, and asked him if he had any thing to sell, seeing he had something in it; he said, no; I observed the mouth of the sack was not in the same position it was when he came into the room; I asked him over again whether he had any thing to sell; he said, no; I looked on it again and saw a pair of stocking breeches, which breeches I had taken in change of a customer, and they had been to the taylor to be rectified in something they wanted, that was two or three holes mended, and to be dearned at the knees; I asked the prisoner whether he had bought them at any shop; he made a hesitation, and I think he answered at last, yes; I did not care to challenge him with them, because I was not certain they were ours; I put them into the bag again and we came down stairs, he went away; I then asked my fellow servant if he had marked such a pair of breeches; he walked up stairs, and said they were gone; I said I was sure that man had taken them away; we both went cross the way, the prisoner was gone in at our opposite neighbour's; he was then coming down stairs; I asked him if he had such a pair of breeches, he said he had a pair; there was in his bag a pair of stocking breeches, a pair of buckskin breeches, and an old great coat.</p>
<p>Q. Can you of your own knowledge swear the stocking breeches are your master's property?</p>
<p>Butler. I can, I took them in change, and when I came to examine them again, I knew them to be the same.</p>
<p>Q. Who sent them to be rectified?</p>
<p>Butler. I saw the defect in them myself; it was my master I believe that sent them to be done.</p>
<p>Q. Are there any dearns in the knees of these breeches?</p>
<p>Butler. Yes, there are.</p>

. I marked the black stocking breeches, (it is now upon them,) I did it after they came from the taylor's, and put them up close by the window; when my fellow servant desired me to go up, I looked and they were gone: they were there at eight in the morning, and the prisoner at the bar<xptr type="pageFacsimile" doc="176807060040"></xptr>
was the first man we had had there that day; it was past eleven I believe when my fellow servant desired me to go up and look; they were afterwards found in the prisoner's bag.</p>
<p>Q. How are they marked?</p>
<p>Dyke. They are marked with the letter N with a pen and ink.</p>

<p>It was a wet day, my master said I could not go to work; I came to London to buy me a surtout coat and a bit of bacon; a man gave me a tap on the shoulder and said, countryman, do you want to buy a bargain; he said he had got a pair of breeches, he asked me 15 s. for them; I told him they did not fit me, and I should not try them on; he said I should have them cheap; I offered him 9 s. for them; he went a yard or two, I offered him 9 s. 6 d. then he came back and said I might have them; I bought them and put them in my bag, this was in Tottenham-court-road in the street; then I went into that gentleman's shop and asked him if he had a surtout coat to sell; he said he did not think he had; I asked him if he had a good waistcoat; after that I came down and went into a shop opposite to him; while I was looking after a coat there, the man came and took hold of me, and said I must walk into his house, he said I had stole some breeches, then I shewed them to him.</p>
