thus depos'd. About 10 at Night I and 2 or 3 more Butchers were going along Long-lane, and two Fellows came out of Charter-house-street and followed us. I presently felt my Apron-strings cut and mist my Steel; I turned about, and a Boy said to me, Yonder goes the Man that cut your Apron-string, he took your Steel, and gave it to another.

(a Boy) thus depos'd. I saw the Butchers going along, and the Prisoner come behind and cut the Prosecutor's Apron-string, take away his Steel, and give it to a Man in a great Coat. The Prosecutor turned about, and said he had lost his Steel. I shew'd 'em which was the Man that took it. The Prisoner ran into Barbican, and there was taken.

The Prisoner was an old Offender, he had been an Evidence against Blewit and his Gang, and had not been a Week out of Goal when he was taken for this Fact. The Jury found him
