I am waggoner to Mr. Harrison: I received a box on the 10th of April to carry to Wendable, at the Green Man, Oxford-road; I put it in the waggon, it was taken from the waggon within half a mile of the place; I was driving along the road, three or four follows came up; one of them came to me and discoursed about my horses; just after that a man came and told me my waggon was robbed, I stopped; I saw a man turn up a lane with a box on his head; I pursued him, he threw it off his shoulder into the ditch; I did not take the man directly; I am sure the box I took out of the ditch was the box I put into the waggon; there was a direction upon the box that I knew it by; it was directed to
