: upon the 6th of December, between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, I opened the case and missed a pair of buckles; my master came into the shop and missed two more; on examination we found a piece of the glass broke out; I had seen them at three o'clock the preceding day.

Who gave you the buckles? - The prisoner: I keep a cloaths-shop in King-street; he brought them to me and asked me to buy them; I said, I don't know the worth of them; he asked me to go and pawn them for him, and I went to pawn them; I am sure the prisoner is the boy.
