sworn. - I am the mother of the last witness: I was in the lower room upon the ground-floor, about a quarter past eleven o'clock; I was cleaning the room, and a lodger in the two pair of stairs came down, and asked me if I had sent any body up to see Mr. Perry; and in consequence of what she told me I went out, and saw the prisoner run down the street; I pursued the prisoner into a coach-yard, in Wood-street; I laid hold of her by the skirt of her gown, and desired to see what she had got in her apron, and she refused till the officer came up; I found a pair of breeches, and two waistcoats, in her apron.</p>
<p>Q. What room is it your son sleeps in? - A. The two pair of stairs.</p>

<p>Prisoner's defence. On Monday night, in the Christmas week, I met with Mr. Perry in Smithfield, and went with him and had some purl; and then he took me up into this room, and asked me to oblige him with my company for a quarter of an hour, and he would give me half-a-crown; he said he had no money, and desired me to call the next day; and he said I was come too soon, he had no money, and he gave me the things to pledge; it was not that young man, but the elderly man.</p>
<p>Q.(To Mrs. Perry.) Is there any elderly man lives in your house? - A. There is my husband, but he has been ill in bed these eight months.</p>
