<p>JOHN THORN. I am a highler. The prisoner said to me, countryman, I will sell you a saddle and bridle, we went up to the Star and Garter, he called out there is my brother gone out of the house they said yes, he then said the saddle is gone. I will sell you the bridle for three shillings. I said I will give you half a crown if you will take it to a sadler's, so he took it to a sadler's, there I bought it. I would not buy it without a witness. I am sure he is the man. This is the bridle.</p>
