. I went into the kitchen to wash my hands, and not finding a towel I look'd in the drawer, where I saw the prisoner's coat with the pocket bulging out; I looked into it, and took out a piece of green worstead for breeches [produced in court, and deposed to.] I went up stairs and mention'd it to some ladies, and desired two of them to go down; they went and saw it, and I charged the prisoner with taking it; he denied his having any intention to rob me of it, said that he intended to sell it and bring me the money, and that he was to carry it to Westminster to a man to sell.
