were stopped, and on being searched a quantity of velvet
was found secreted under their cloaks. Their lodgings were
alsi searched, and more property found, which was identified
as belonging to the prosecutor.
In defence the prisoners said that they had no intention of
stealing the velvet: the feet was, they were taking it hornet
to male it up when the foreman stopped them.
The policeman mid he found a large quantity of velvet at
a pawnbroker's in King-street, waive it wee pledged by the
prisoners. The pawnbroker identified them as being the
parties.
Mr. A'Beckett accordingly committed them for trial.
