<p>ANN GULLEN. My husband is a cooper. On the 28th of January, two men brought a cask to our house to sell - I told them I would not buy it; they then asked to leave it there for a few minutes. I believe they both asked me to let them leave it.</p>
<p>JOHN SMALLMAN. On the 28th of January, I saw the prisoner with the firkin on his shoulder, in White's-row, Spitalfields; he took it into Gullen's shop. I went in with him, and afterwards told the drayman.</p>
