<p>Two young men who lodge at my house, hearing a great noise at the top of the next house to mine, they alarmed me about six in the morning; I came down directly, and saw the prisoner come out of the house with the lead in his hand in a bag; he was stopped by a young man who sleeps at my house.</p>
<p>Do you know where it came from? - It was taken from the gutter between the two houses; he went up, and would have put it in its place again.</p>

<p>I was going by this house about six in the morning; it is an empty house, the door is always open, and children are often playing in it; I have been in it often; I know nothing of the lead: they gave me in charge of the patrol, who knew me very well.</p>
