. On the 23d of September Mr. Eglington, the master of the workhouse, applied to me, and informed me the prisoner, who was a pauper in the workhouse, had taken some sheets. I went with him to Mr. Davidson's, a pawnbroker, in Fleet-street, and found the four sheets pledged; but he did not deliver up the sheets till some time afterwards, till I got a warrant from the Lord Mayor.</p>
<p>Whose property are these sheets? - The property of the churchwardens and overseers of the parish (naming them). They belonged to the workhouse, and had the parish mark upon them, which is an anchor.</p>

said she was an house-keeper in Carey-street. The mark on the sheet was obliterated with whiting, that I really did not see it. The other two sheets were received on the 31st of August, and the 13st of September. They were taken in by my young man; I was in the shop when they were taken in. They were brought by the prisoner.</p>
<p>Did you observe no mark on the sheets? - I did not. The mark was in black, and was obliterated with whiting, on that I took in.</p>
<p>When was the fourth taken in? - That was on the 1st of August; I was not present then.</p>
<p>Were the marks of them all so defaced that you could not discern them? - I believe all the marks were defaced; they have been one with whiting.</p>
