, on the 6th of July, Friday evening, I missed the shoes, the prisoner came into the shop, and desired to be fitted with a pair of shoes; my lad attended him, I was busy with other customers; I was told the man had put a pair of shoes in his pocket, I saw him pull them out of his pocket (these are the shoes) Hawkes has kept them ever since; I know them by the binding and the manufacture; these shoes were never tried on by the prisoner, they are two inches too small for him; on being searched, there was half-a-crown and a shilling found upon him.</p>
<p>Mr. Knowlys, prisoner's counsel. Had not this man half-a-guinea? - Not that I known of.</p>
