I was in the chaise; I perceived a man at the carriage, between the hind and the fore wheels; it was between six and seven in the evening; the portmanteau was on the chaise; it vanished all at once; I called out of the window, and saw the prisoner hanging by the perch; he had a dark brown coat on, and the portmanteau on his shoulder; he slipped it off, and made off; I had such opportunity of observing him, that I recognized his figure at once.
