I live in Warner-street, Cold-bath-fields, I am a carpenter , I was at work in a new house, and I lost the things mentioned in the indictment on the 16th of June, in the morning; at five o'clock the next morning the constable brought them to me.

I am a watchman in Fleet-lane, I heard a noise, and I ran, and just at the end of my beat the prisoner stood at a door, it wanted a quarter of twelve; he said he lodged there, and was a carpenter; I took him to the watch-house with the tools, and I saw them all taken from him there, these are the same tools.
I am an officer of the night, I took charge of the prisoner.
