<p>On the 12th of June as Honeyball and I were coming down St. Dunstan's hill, we met the prisoner Swift with the salmon on his head; I went across the way and asked him where he got it; he said from a man on the Keys; I asked him to go and show me the man; when we came to Thames-street, he threw the salmon off his head upon me; one kit cut my eye; the other stunned me. Honeyball pursued him, and I recovered myself and went round the gateway and stopped him and carried him to the watch-house; one of the kits broke in the fall; from that mark I know it: we did not see Pearce at the time.</p>
