Mr. Theene saw a cow at my house, the prisoner brought a cow to me to buy, my son deals in cows, it was about half past seven on Saturday, he asked three guineas, I thought it too cheap, it did not suit me, it might suit some other folks.

What did you think of it, did you think it was worth more.

It might be worth a trifle more, I did not chuse to buy it.

Was this cow left at your house? - Yes, he asked me leave to put it into my field.

When did Theene come? - On a Tuesday.

Did he own the cow? - Yes, he owned it and took it away.

You say your own son deals in cows? - Yes.

Do you understand cows yourself? - A little, Sir, my son deals in them.

Court to Theene. This man talks here of your cow not being worth above three guineas? - I should be sorry to take eight or nine guineas.

Prisoner. I have nothing to say.
