WILLIAM ADAMS . I am shopman to William Stephen Dew and ano-ther, hosiers in Cheapside. In the afternoon of the 31st of March I saw the prisoner come to the door, take up a bundle of shirts which were exposed there for sale, place them under his arm, and walk off with them—I fol-lowed and stopped him with the property about five doors off—the things were full three feet from the pavement.
JOHN BROWN (City police-constable No. 48.) I saw Adams secure the prisoner, and took charge of him.
GUILTY . Aged 28.— Transported for Seven Years.
