, and my handkerchief was tied loose round my neck, the prisoner laid her hand on my shoulders, she wanted me to go with her, I told her I did not want anything to do with her, I was a poor man and had a wife at home; she took my handkerchief, three women and a man came up to me, and she conveyed the handkerchief to another woman, I never got it again; I held the prisoner fast with both my hands, I never lost her, and a man came up and said he would knock me down, another man came up and called a watchman; the man and the woman ran off, I held the prisoner, and she was taken to the watch-house.

I heard a noise in the street, the man was going to ill use the prosecutor; I said you are one of the bullies; while the watchman came up they made off, the watchman said he had nothing to do with it; it was opposite Red-lion-yard, opposite Long-lane, he said it was out of his liberty.
