. I am engine keeper: about two months ago I had the alarm of a fire; I fetched the engine from the engine house, and when I came to the fire I missed the stand cock; I sent a man back to the engine house to look for it, but it could not be found; I saw it in the engine a week before; it is the part we put into the plug to supply the engine.

. I was a pauper in the work-house about ten months before; about three months ago, I am not positive what day, about nine o'clock, the two prisoners and I went to the engine house and broke the door open; we agreed to take the stand cock; it is a sold useful piece by itself; Bennet took it out and Price put it under his coat; we went to Mrs. Maylin's in Falconbridge-court; I had part of the money; it was paid in the public house; the cock had engraved out it, belonging to the workhouse of St. James's.
