George Chadwick proceedingsdefend of St. Mary le Bon , was indicted for feloniously stealing a Hammer, a Gouge, an Auger, and other Carpenters Tools , the Goods of several Persons, on the 20th of December last. It appear'd that the Tools were lost out of a Shed in Marybon Fields and were found upon Richard Toothacre < no role > . Toothacre bought'em of James Grey < no role > , a Broker, and Grey said he bought them of the prisoner. The prisoner own'd he had sold some Tools to Grey, but prov'd 'em to be his own; and that he sold them long before those in the Indictment were lost. Grey then slipt out of the Court, and the prisoner was acquitted .
