JAMES TAYLOR. I am a sailor . On the 30th of April, between ten and eleven o'clock at night, I met the prisoner, Robinson, in Drury-lane , and went home with her. In the morning I missed my money and handkerchief out of my jacket pocket - She was gone also. I had been drinking the evening before, but knew what I was about.

JAMES M'CARTHY < no role > . I am watchman at the corner of Bull and Gate-yard. I heard the prisoner, Johnson, demanding a 1l. note of Clarke, in Holborn. I turned them away; they went along Holborn, and I followed them. Johnson collared Clarke, and said she would have her share of it. I took them to the watch-house, with assistance. I held the man, and another watchman took the woman. I searched Clarke, and found a handkerchief and a waistcoat concealed behind his back, and a 1l. note in his hand - We had great difficulty in getting it from him.

JAMES TAYLOR < no role > . I was with the watchman at half-past three o'clock in the morning, when the prisoners were together. The handkerchief and waistcoat were found between Clarke's own jacket and shirt, and the note in his hand. He said he bought the waistcoat in Rosemary-lane.

MORRIS WELCH < no role > . I am a watchman. I assisted in taking the prisoners to the watch-house. We took Robinson in the room-Clarke belonged to that room.
