sworn. - I am a cutler, I know the prisoner; a woman that is now in custody, brought this dozen of knives and forks to me to sell, on the 5th of November, about a quarter after twelve; I opened the paper, and asked her how she came by them, she said, a young man made her a present of them; I saw the name of Minns upon them; I knew Mr. Minns, and thought they were stole from him; I told her she should not have them again till she brought the young man, she went away, and I saw no more of her; I went to Mr. Minns's house, on Sunday, to know if he had lost any knives and forks, he was not at home; I took them back again, and he came to my house in about an hour, and saw them; I have kept them to this time; the next day, Mon day morning, the prisoner came to work, he turned a wheel for Mr. Minns; Mr. Minns got an officer and took him into custody, and brought him to me, and asked if I knew where to find the woman who brought the knives, I did, and they were both taken into custody.
