On Monday se'nnight I was going along St. Paul's Church-yard; I saw the prisoner following the cart; I saw him take out the box opposite the end of Paul's Chain, he pulled it out of the cart, on the ground; two more of his companions helped him up with it; he went down Paul's Chain with it; I did not know but he belonged to the cart; the carman went on about twelve rods, and he missed the box and stopped; I waited till the carman came up and asked what was the matter; he said, he had lost a box; we went after him, and the box was on his shoulder, and he threw it down and ran away; I never lost sight of him.
