jewellery to sell. They went away to fetch it, and in the
meantime he sent for a policeman. On their return they
produced a package containing a lot of Albert chains and
three silver watches. He put one of the chains into a scale
to weigh it, and found it to be rubbish, as well all the
rest. They were then given into custody.
