. On the 18th of September there was a sale of goods at my house. As I was moving, the prisoner was put there to lot the goods. My wife, in moving, left a box in a closet.

I advertised these things; and on the 18th of last month I went to a sale, there I saw the<xptr type="pageFacsimile" doc="177712030039"></xptr>
prisoner with one of these pair of stockings upon him; I immediately apprehended him; I searched his lodgings, and found six pair more; the marks were all cut out of these stockings; I believe they are mine, but I swear particularly to one pair of them. I also found a pair of shoes at his lodgings. (They were produced in Court.)</p>
