: On the 24th of February my mother called to me, and told me, a boy was gone out of the shop; I followed him to the corner of Arrundel-street, and said, he had got something that did not belong to him; he said, he had not; I looked in his apron, and found three pair of breeches; two pair of stcoking breeches, and one pair of buff thickset; I never lost fight of him;(the things produced in Court), these are my father's property; I had seen them in the shop not ten minutes before the prisoner took them; they have our shop marks in the waistband.
