, after I missed it, I was told it was at Mr. Hambleton's house; I went there last Monday and found it. The saw produced in court and deposed to. I lost three saws that week.</p>
<p>Q. What do you imagine is the value of that saw?</p>
<p>Dodd. It is worth three shillings.</p>
<p>Q. How came you to charge the prisoner with taking it?</p>
<p>Dodd. It was bought of the prisoner.</p>
<p>Mr. Hambleton. I bought the saw of the prisoner for three shillings, he told me he was a <rs id="t17510227-53-deflabel268" type="occupation">block-maker</rs>
