I am engine keeper of St. Andrew's, Holborn; on the 16th of July, I saw the prisoner Foxhall put his hand into the prosecutor's left-hand pocket, I cannot say which hand he put in, and took out a box; I saw something red in his hand, I followed him on the other side of the way, and at St. Sepulchre's church gates I crossed over the way and the prosecutor had hold of Ingram; Ingram was close to Foxhall, pushing him. Foxall pulled out the snuff box from under his right arm, and give it me; the prosecutor directly said, that is my box.

Coming under old Newgate, this lad was before me, I saw a box roll, and I picked it up, the prosecutor laid hold of this lad, and he bid me stop. I told him I found the box. Scott said he should get a guinea a-piece for us, if he transported us.

The prisoner Foxall's master gave him a good character, and offered to take him again.
