sworn. - I let lodgings ready furnished; in March 1796, I let the prisoner a furnished room, up two pair of stairs, at three shillings a week; he went away in July last, there were several things missing out of the room, I met him afterwards, and he returned some of the things the sheet still remained missing; I heard he went into the country, and when he came to town, I took him before a Magistrate, at Worship-street office; I charged him with taking the sheet, it is now in Court, I know it to be mine by the different marks upon it; there is P.B.M. I can swear to it by that mark.
