for advice; last Wednesday se'nnight I was informed there were two men taken up, which were the prisoners; I was directed to Smith's lodgings, in Blue-anchor alley, Bunhill-row; there I saw the two flats marked A. A. I knew them to be Mr. Adams's, the Daventry Waggoner; and having heard of butter being lost, we took the flats with us; I saw a piece of a direction in one of them; part was rubbed off, but there was Nalder on it; (the flats and cloths produced, the cloths had Adams at length on them.)</p>

and I went into Newgate-market about three weeks ago, about six at night; there were six or seven flats of butter standing by the prosecutor's shop; he took one and I another, and carried one to Smith's house, and the other we left in Jones's room; Smith sold<xptr type="pageFacsimile" doc="176701150034"></xptr>
them for us; he gave us 10 d. a lump, two pounds in a lump; he had the two flats of butter; I received of him better than six shillings for my part at one time, and I had some more afterwards.
