. On the 28th of last month the prisoner came to Mr. Herring's warehouse, and asked me several trifling questions, which induced me to suspect him; I watched him out of the warehouse; about half an hour after that I went to the bottom of the shop, and saw the prisoner there again with a decanter in his hand; he asked me if that was to be sold, I said yes, and took it from him, and bid him not trouble me; he went out, and I followed him and took the things mentioned in the indictment, from under his coat; he acknowledged he took them out of the warehouse.
