Mr. Thomas Hales who sent him. I weighed, as
I thought, twelve shoulders, with which he west
away, but is • short time he returned and
said he had wily eleven shoulders. I weighed thew
agate sad found his statement correct. I tekl him I had
no more, and he said it did not matter, and he took
away the eleven shoulders of mutton again. I subse-
quently ascertained that Mr. Thomas Haler had never sent
the prisoner for the meat in question, and that he never
recerved the edema shoelders of mutton. -
