William Juckson < no role > . On the first of November, in the evening, I had two cloaks, and eleven yards of sattin, stole out of my shop, in the Cloysters , West-Smithfield . I advertised them that same night; and Mr. Lane, a pawnbroker, in Purple-Lane, stopt the cloak next morning, and brought it to me, (produced in court): I cannot swear to it; but here is an evidence that can.

John Lane. On the second of November, about eleven in the morning, Mary Davis < no role > brought this cloak to me to pawn; I having read the advertisement, stopt it: I knew her before.

Mary Davis < no role > . The two prisoners desired me to go and pawn this cloak, and said they had found it: I went to Mr. Lane's, to pawn it, and he stopt it.

Elizabeth Waklin < no role > . (She looks at the cloak) This is the property of Mr. Juckson: I had laid it in the window, where it had lain several days, before it was taken away.

West's Defence.

I was coming along with this yong man, (meaning Hussey) and I picked up this cardinal, in a handkerchief; we asked this young woman if she would sell it: she said she would pawn it, but could not sell it.

Hussey's Defence.

I had been of an errand for my father, and coming down Holbourn, saw this lie against a post; so we took it up, and got her to go and pawn it.

Both Guilty . T .
