Mr.
About twelve months ago, at Brierley Hill market, the
coat in question was on the horse's back when I sent the
horse to the stable. Have seen the coat on the 4th on
the back of prisoner, and it is the same I lost. Went to
him and told him it was my coat, and I would swear to
it. He said it is not your coat, I bought it and a pair of
trousers with it Asked him who he bought them of,
ani he said • men in Locks-late. When I lost my coat
I asked prisoner twice if he had seen it, and he said
" No." Will swear to the coat. It was worth Is when
I lost it. Cross-examined There are a great number of
stalls in the market. Police-constable Mee proved sp.
prehending the prisoner on the sth. Mr. Addison, in
defence, said prisoner bought the coat off a second-hand
stall, and he should call witnesses who would give primo.
Der 20 years' good character; and called Mr. Cole, who
said prisoner had worked under him eleven years, and
he has worked at the place twenty years altogether. He
had always found him to be a very sober, steady, and in-
dustrious man. He had a responsible p .sition. Priso-
ner pleaded guilty. The Bench said they had taken •
careful interest in the case. It seemed probable that the
coat was dropped off the horse's back, and in the absence
id other witnesses the) interred that he had picked it
up. They would take as lenient a view of the Case as
they could, and commit him for 11 days.
