. I am servant to Mess. Brown, Phillips and Buswell. I was informed some pieces were stole out of the warehouse; I went to the warehouse, and I found the latch tied up, and the lock was upon the spring; I found it had been picked. I missed about fifty pieces of linen and cottons, and eight dozen of handkerchiefs. We found out seven yards of printed cottons about a fortnight after, of the same patterns that we lost, at one Abrahams, and 12 yards were stopt by a pawnbroker.
