home on Friday, the Ist of July, at 2o'olosk in the morniag.
I was in Melbas, hod when opposite Chancery-hue I felt a
veep at the watch than I was wearing in my waistcoat
pocket. I felt some one pull at the chide, and from the mist
it was evident that my watch chain wee cut in two. Ms
broke the watch from the chain and ran off with it,

the other hall of the chain. I tea after the
person as quickly u I could, and got nearly
close to hint, calling out " Stop thief," end
Folios." He tarried into Falwood'a-rote, and by
the time I get up • pollee mutable, who had seen the rob-
bery committed, had got hold of him, I was not more
than two or three yards from them slain he was stopped by
the Folios constable. I seised hold of the prisoner, es did
also the constable; a scuffle ensued, and myself and
the constable were thrown down. While this scuffle
we going on the policeman did not know that I had lost
my watch, sod one of the primate's asafediesue caning rap,
mad, "Give it to me," and my watch was tabu. By this
inn several uremia bad got round es, and I said, " Oh,
give me my watch," and while I was down I saw the mu
the constable had hold of endeavouring to pus it to oat of
the men near to him. There were five or six men
round the constable, but although the prisoner struggled
for some time he retained hie hold of him. When the pri-
soner got to his feet his coat was tore, and be made his
escape. His coat wu torn in the struggle, and the police-
man retained • large portion of the met in his band. We
followed him to Falwood's-rents, sad finding • door
open the policeman entered. We got into a place which
wee very dark, and was jest each a place se oaf in which
you might expect mime would be competed; it is called the
Theme' Kitchen. I stood keeping watch at the door, so
that the person should not get away, end when I went in
with the policeman I found seven or eight persons In bed.
I was not at that time able to idenWy the prisons. I
first now the prisoner afterwards at the George-street
statics. That wee ors the Monday following the Friday
when this occurred. I could not speak positively as to his
identity. Mr. Henry, at Bow-street, asked me if I could
swear to him, and I mid I could only swear to him in regard
to his site and general appearance. From them I should
say that be was the man. My watch we worth 251. A
patio's of the chain was lost altogether, and it cost me 2/.
10a. to repair the injury to my watch

rest, west up to Mr. Griot and matched his watch
sad ran away. I mw him do it. I followed hint, and he
turned into Fulwood's.ronts, where I caught hold of him,
bet • great scuffle took place, and the poisoner was rescued
from me. Oa the Saturday *veering following, between 7 sod
8 o'clock, I apprehended the prisoner is 'Holborn, when
the riffs volunteers were paring. I told him that I wanted
him for stealing a watch from a geetlrman on Friday morn-
ing, and he said he knew nothing about it, as he was in bed
at the time. lam quite sore the prisoner is the mine per-
sae, as I was struggliog with him for four or five minutes,
and I had • good opportunity of seeing him. I followed
him to No. 20, Fulwood's-rents, and the manage being so
dark I lost the prisour, sod no doubt he went into • cellar
which was very dark. The prisoner straggled with me, sad
in doing so he left part of his coat behind.......
