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.)

, Jones and I in company; one night after dark, not quite three weeks ago, I believe in Lad-lane, at the Swan and two Necks, Parsons got into a machine, and lifted out a white deal square box; I carried it by the horses, and gave it to Jones, who ran away with it; we went to the Halt-moon tavern in Aldersgate-street; it was done round with a strap, and buckled; we opened it; there was a bag full of letters; a pair of silver buckles; Parsons gave us 8 s. for them; we took out a pair of pumps, and this basket and cords, and left them at Strode's house; then we went to the Fountain tavern, by St. Sepulchre's church.
