on the 18th of July; I was in the crowd seeing part of the royal family coming out of the coach; the prisoner stood close to me by my side, and another man, seeming to be of his company, stood behind him; the prisoner push'd against me, and catch'd hold of the string of my watch with his right-hand.</p>
<p>Q. How do you know that?</p>
<p>Gregg. I felt a pull at it, I look'd down and saw his hand at my fobb, he took out my watch and put his hands behind him, and took it with his left-hand from his right-hand, and put it into his left-hand waistcoat pocket, then he turn'd about and was geting out of the crowd, I follow'd him: in about a minute or two after he had got it, Mr. <rs type="persName" id="t17621208-3-person67"> <interp inst="t17621208-3-person67" type="role" value=""></interp>

laid hold of the prisoner, and said, Where is the watch you took from the gentleman? The prisoner said, What watch, and took it out of his waistcoat pocket: Mr. Watkins took it from him and delivered it to me. Produced in court, and deposed to.</p>
<p>Q. Had he gone far from the place where you say you lost it?</p>
<p>Gregg. No, he had not got out of the court-yard, but was moved a little way from the spot.</p>

<p>My father and I are braziers, there are none in England but us in the same branch; I had no need to go a pilfering for my living; that is all I have to say.</p>
