WILLIAM SULLIVAN < no role > sworn.

The prisoner came into his lodging between 11 and 12 at night; we slept together in Long-alley ; I understood him to be a lawyer ; the prisoner came to bed; I had a trunk in the room which I suppose he broke open, I suppose so, for I went to sleep; I found the prisoner in Half-moon-alley, Bishopsgate-street, which is very near where we lodged; I laid hold of him and he struck me on the face; he went out about half past three, and it struck me it was an early hour for him to go to work. I had a new pair of shoes lying on the table, and I thought he might move them; I got out of bed and discovered that I was robbed, and put on my night-cap and an old pair of shoes (he had taken away every part of my wearing apparel) and pursued him, and took the things from him: he was taken before the Lord Mayor, and was committed.
