'flue complainant stated, that some time iu Angnst last, hav ing occasion to go out for a short distance, she left the door half open : and in her absence some person unknown entered the house, and stole the articles in question.

No person of that name was to be found deburiltil4 to that address, and Mr. Gray roused to di liver the property, unless paid the sio ttttt int lent by him upon them. . r.tiray, and several persons in Cie trade, on his part, con. tended he could not know that the prelim ty was stolen ; the spoons had been legally pledged with hint, and he had lent neatly the value upon them. Ile was humid to know or allow that they were the property of Mts. Shepherd, Instil that tact was proved, on the prosecution of the °Girder, and ilia he had a right to detain them for the purposes of such prosecution. . Ots reference to the Act of Parliament, it appeared, that in the case of property patched without the privity of the owner, whether storm' or otherwise, the party to olioin such property belonged WAS entitled, on making oath before oue Mageitrate to the tact, to his warrant to search for the same ; and curb Magistrate was fully authorized and empowered to order such property, if tumid, to he delivered to the owner or owners thereof, on pt out' of the ownership being made before him, on the oath of one disinterested witness.
