, there was a fire at the house, on the 23d of January, at three in the morning; the fire burned the top of the house, I believe two floors before the alarm, my box was in the apartments, the prisoner was very troublesome, I could not get him out of the house, he desired to help me, I desired him to walk out, I never saw him before, he came into my apartments with the rest of the mob, I know him particularly, because he was very troublesome, he would insist upon moving some of my things away, and I would not let him; I told him I wanted none of him, nor did I know him, I did not not let him move any thing; the prisoner took a box, after the hurry was over, I missed my box, and I found a few things that he could not take; I found the prisoner and apprehended him, and in his room I found two pair of flannel drawers, and two pair of stockings, and a stock and some other things were found, some were in a drawer, and some among some rubbish, he had the
