. Bladwell Peyton deposed; that having mist Goods several times, he had Information of his Servant Hawes's frequently going to his Neighbour Phillips's Shop to sell Goods; whereupon he got a Search Warrant, that the Prisoner at first refused, till they produced the Warrant, that they found several of his Goods in several parts of the Shop; that the Prisoner laid his (the Prosecutors) things together, and said they were all his, and desired him to be easy and not prosecute; that the Prisoner bought that for 30 s. which cost him 6 l. That the Prisoner owned he had them of Hawes; though at first he said he had the Mohair half a Year before of an old Woman; but being told it had not been lost so long, he then said it was within 3 Weeks.
