there; we were in the habit of melting our own fat, for the purpose of making into pomatum; we allow the men the pugs, after the fat is melted; that is the refuse, the skins. In consequence of a letter we received from a tallow chandler, we suspected that we were robbed of fat to some amount. On the 19th of last month I saw the prisoner take out a quantity of fat in a bag; I went after him and saw him selling this fat in Mr. Briant's shop, a tallow chandler in Greek street.

ROBERT BRIANT. Q. You are a tallow chandler. A. Yes. On Saturday I bought the fat of the prisoner, I gave him eight shillings for it; the top of the fat was what was allowed them, the refuse of the skins; at the bottom of that was suet; I gave him three pence a-pound for it. If I had seen the bottom I should have allowed him sixpence a pound.
