, on the left side, near the church, I thought I felt some body at my pocket; I found nothing missing; I was not sure I had lost any thing; I buttoned up my pocket to prevent his taking it; I observed the prisoner following, but I am not sure it is the prisoner, I believe it is; I had not gone far, when I heard the cry of stop thief; and Scott held up the handkerchief, and told me my pocket was picked; it was a handkerchief of my wife's, and the only one I had of the kind; I believe it to be mine; I found I had lost one; I had the handkerchief about a week; I will not swear I had it that morning; I went into a stationer's shop, and gave my name.</p>
