: I thought it was a thieving house; I put the two shillings, in the morning, into my waistcoat-pocket; I left it on the trunk, in the room where I sleep, that was Wednesday evening the 19th of January; I went down stairs, between eight and nine, and left the prisoner in the room; soon after, he came down, as soon as he came down, I went up again, I left nobody in the room but the prisoner; I felt in my waistcoat-pocket, and found the money gone; I came down and told the landlord, he said, we have got a thief in the house, and called all the lodgers in to produce their money, there were two lodgers more besides the prisoner; they all produced their silver, and the prisoner put his hand in his right-hand pocket, pulled out some silver, and asked if it was mine, I said, no; he then pulled some halfpence out of his left-hand pocket, and among those halfpence I found my two shillings, I put an H on each the day before, and know them perfectly well; I left him in custody of the landlord, and went and fetched an officer, he was taken to the Office and examined; they were in the officer's hands, the prisoner is a foreigner.</p>
<p>JONATHAN TROTT sworn. - (Produces the two shillings;) I received them from the prosecutor; I asked the prisoner if this belonged to him, he said, they were his, he got them in change of a seven-shilling-piece the night before; I looked at the shillings, and saw an H on each.</p>
<p>Prisoner's defence. I don't know where I took the two shillings from, I got change in a tobacco-shop the night before for a seven-shilling-piece.</p>
