between 10 and It), he was on duty in Three-mown-square,
proceeding from Wellington-street towards the Borough-
market, when he was surprised to see the cellar flap of the
prosecutor's premises move. He stood there a short time
and then it opened again, and the prisoner emerged from

pounced upon him and asked him what he was doing
there, when he replied that a man put him down, and
he was looking for him. Witness accordingly took hint into
custody, and communicated with the prosecutor.

premises securely, leaving the outer door locked with a
padlock and the cellar flap bolted. On Sunday night
about half past 11 the constable came to his
house at Walworth, and told him his master's pre-
inises had been broken into. He immediately
accompanied him to the Borough, and found that the place
had been entered by Magna of a false key. On examina-

cellar-flap. On further search he picked up near the latter
a key winch unlocked the padlock, and which he myste-
riously lost about six months ago. He, however, did not
know anything of the prisoner.
