, between eight and nine in the morning on the 15th of January, and I put some pork into it, three pigs in sides; I left the cart with nobody with it, when I came back, I saw the prisoner take a side of pork out of my cart, I had a side of veal on my shoulder, I laid hold of him with the pork on his shoulders, says I, this is my pork; he never said any thing to it, and a butcher held my veal while I took him into custody; the pork was mine, it is all my property till I deliver it to my masters; if I lose it I must pay for it; the prisoner said before the Alderman, that a man gave him six-pence to carry the side of pork into the market: the pork was worth about ten shillings.
