At the corner of Cannon-street, I received some information; and turning round the corner to go into Back-lane, I saw the prisoner with the roll of flannel under his arm; I am sure it was<xptr type="pageFacsimile" doc="181602140028"></xptr>
the prisoner. He dropped the flannel, and ran into Mr. Gald's barracks it is the East India Company's barrack or depot, where these men are kept. I saw a man pick up the flannel, and I went to Mr. Gale's House Mr. Gale delivered the prisoner to me. I I am sure the man Mr. Gale delivered to me was that man who dumpt flannel, (flannel produced) that is the flannels I know it to be my master's.</p>
