sworn.</p>
<p>On Saturday, the 17th of November last, in the evening, as I was minding my business in the shop, a man came to ask the price of a waistcoat, I took it to the counter, in the shop, with two or three others, and shewed them to him. In the mean time, as I was shewing this waistcoat, I had not been gone above two or three minutes before there was a cry of somebody has stole your cloaths.</p>
<p>Where is your shop? - In <rs type="placeName" id="t17811205-29-crimeloc151">High Holborn</rs>

; I immediately ran out of the shop, and ran as hard as I could for about a hundred yards, I perceived a woman running, I came up with her, and she had got the coat in her hand, before I could get to lay hold of her she dropped it, and I took it up.</p>
<p>Did you see her drop it? - I was close to her.</p>
<p>You picked it up? - Yes.</p>
<p>Is it your's, is it the same great coat? - Yes; here are the marks in the coat, where she pulled it off from the hooks.</p>
<p>Is it the same coat, has it been in your possession ever since? - It has.</p>
<p>Was it your great coat? - It belongs to the partnership.</p>
<p>Who is your partner? - <rs type="persName" id="t17811205-29-person398"> <interp inst="t17811205-29-person398" type="role" value=""></interp>

.</p>
<p>How do you know the coat again? - By the marks upon it, and likewise by my own writing of the shop mark.</p>
<p>Was that mark upon it when she dropped it? - Yes.</p>
<p>Where was it hanging before it was taken? - It hung at the shop door.</p>
<p>What did she say for herself when you took her? - Nothing particular; she made a sad noise.</p>

<p>I was coming up Holborn the same evening, and I saw a woman snatch a coat that was hanging at Mr. Butler's door.</p>
<p>Is this the same woman? - Yes.</p>
<p>Did you see her pursued and taken? - I saw her throw down the coat.</p>
<p>PRISONER's DEFENCE.</p>
<p>I never took the coat; I was going up Holborn to Mr. Lane's, a pawnbroker, to get a gown which I had in pawn, and I was stopped; I don't remember what they said to me, I was in a great flurry. I never took any thing in my life, nor never was accused before.</p>
