, between twelve and one o'clock at night, I was rather the worse for liquor; I met with the prisoner as I was coming out at the door, and she asked me if I would give her any thing to drink; I immediately replied, that I could not give her any thing to drink, for I had not any money; she put her hand down to my breeches, and said, she was sure I had got some money; I put my hand down directly, and missed my watch chain; I had looked at my watch not ten minutes before, in the public-house, it was then half past twelve o'clock; then I felt in my fob for the watch, and found it was gone; I charged her with it, and she denied it; I called the watchman, and gave charge of her, the constable has got the watch; when the watchman came up, I saw something lying glittering on the ground, on the left-hand side of the prisoner; I stooped down, and it was my watch chain and seal, it was a silver seal with J T upon it; I desired the watchman then to search her pocket, to see if she had got my watch or not; we searched her pocket, but could find no watch there; one of the watchmen clapped his hand down her bosom and found the watch there; it is a silver watch, I know it by the maker's name, and number.</p>

sworn. - I am a constable, (produces the watch); the watchman gave it into my custody.</p>
<p>- NEGUS sworn. - Taylor gave me charge of the woman, and I found the watch down her bosom.</p>
<p>Prisoner's defence. I met with the prosecutor, he wanted me to take him home with me, but he said he had got no money; he then told me to go up that dark passage, and he gave me the watch till the morning; and after I had obliged him he wanted the watch back, and laid hold of the chain to pull it forcibly from me, and that was the way the chain broke.</p>
<p>Q.(To Negus.) Did she deny having the watch before you searched her? - A. Yes, she did.</p>
