sod took them to a Mr. Redegiti, for whom I bouittutst
The prisoner told me he got the papers from Mr.
Mr. J. Redeghi, of 61, Park-street, Oroevesor.egsem,
said—Mr. Hoyden spoke to me about the 10th or 1 th of
October about a bargain of some silk, sad from what he
said I authorised him to purchase it for me, and gave him
the money, sad I went to Mr.Howden and got the goods,and
I afterwards delivered them to the officer. I sever spoke
to the prisoner upon the subject of the silk.
William Stanley said—Os the 16th of December lest I
wrs a driver of a cart, in the employment of Maim. J.
&medals sad others, trading in the names of Ficklest gad
0.., of Camden-town, carriers. On that day I had a wh-
op is my cart addressed to Messrs. Breeklehust, is Milk-
street Hower it was sate when I get to the end of Milk-
street. I stopped the out to deliver a panel, end at my
Mora the pase was gone. It could not have fallen out
of the cart. I was not absent more than about a minute. I
had to wait fee the train from Macclesfield that morning,
and I know that the panel came by that train.
Richard Folks., a person is the employment of Messrs.
Breeklehust sad Sons, of Milk-et.set, said—The silks pro-
&isnt hAmi len ..
ses, to our manufactory. I .wise
sis pieces or goods of too on
the 16th December.
I received from Macclesfield as invoice or the goods the
same day, bat the goods wen not delivered. The other
goods mistimed in the invoice were delivered. The qua-
lity of the goods produced and of the goods lost is the same.
I have not the slightest doubt that these are our geode. They
are silk and the value would be about 381.
J. C. Knight, the detective ornate, said—On Friday after-
noon, is consequence of information which I received, 1
went with a clerk of Misers. Pickford's to the house of Mr.
&deed, and received from him the silk produced. I then
went with hint to Mr. Howden, and received from Mr.
Howden the account of Messrs. Lightly and Simon, and
also the bill of pankle in the French language, and as
Saturday I west with Mr. Bowden sad saw the prisoner
et a public hoses in the New Kent-road (the
primmer having 001110 there in consequence of a
message left at his house). When he came in Mr. Howden
said," This is the poison I had the silk of." I immediately
told the prisoner I wet a police officer, and he might answer
what questions he thought proper. The prisoner said, "What
is the ease t Tell me what the case is." I said, " I have some
silk is my possession which Mr. Hamlin says he bought of
you, that the silk has been stolen, and that these (showing
the papers to him) are the papers Mr. Howden says he
received from you, when the mousy was paid for it."
The prisoner said, " Mr. Howden n paid me any mosey
at all—that is not my name oaths papers. You will see it's
the name of Bongoes% on the papas. You must find him."
I then said to Mr. Howdea in the prisouter's preemie.
" Are you sure that you received these papers from
this person 1" Mr. Bowden replied that he was quite
positive be had received two of the papers from the pri-
soner, end the third from his am. The prissier thee
said he lad nothing to do with it, nor had be
received my money from Mr. Howden, nor had the papers
in his pasesesioo, and I must find Mr. Benrisent. I told
the prisoner he must go with me to Messrs. Lightly and
Siam, sad perhaps they would throw some light upon it,
and when we got the» we were informed that they neither
Mew the prisoner nor Mr. Buirment. I found a passport
upon the prisoner.
The primmer said he was guilty of se offence, and hoped
the alderman would dispose of the case at ones, as it was
sinuously disreputable, and disagreeable la other respects,
so be detain.d in prism, particularly as he was anziou to
get at liberty as moos as possible, to pursue his usual avo-
cations.
Sir R. W. Carden sold he had listened very attentively
to the whole of the evidence, and ezamieed the papers
found apes the prisoner, sod be had found by the tic[ at
Brussels' that the primer was prohibited from entering
that country. Taking into thusideratioa the whole of the
cdrcumstantos of fact and suspicion, he did sot thick be
would be disehargieg his duty on the music* to the public
if he did sot reen.ed the mu, in order that the officer might
have an opportunity of getting together all the evideaos as
to the conduct of the accused.
The orisoller, who continued to inutaur at the 'costae
and ineotrosaisolie to which he was put, was accordingly
remanded.
