Hatton. My lord, that looks like the man, but I cannot be positive to him.

Hatton. We sold them for 12 shillings.

Prosecutrix. The witness Hatton told me the prisoner had bought several things of him before that, some shoes that he stole in Virginia-street, and that he knew them to be stolen. I fear he is corrupted by the Jew.
