Police-Sergeant Ackrill, 15 F, said about nine o'clock on
Saturday evening, the 4th Feb., I was on duty in Long-
acre, in company with another officer, when we saw the
two prisoners and two other men going towards St. Mar-
tin's-lane. At the corner of Mercer-street the prisoner
Harris went into the shop cf Mr. Burgess, a pawnbroker,
and took a parcel from under his coat. It contained a
valuable Paisley shawl. The pawnbroker's foreman asked
him whose it was, and he said it belonged to his mother,
Mrs. Harris—(a laugh)—and that she lived in New-street,
Covent-garden, having lately taken lodgings there, her
former place of residence being Lambeth. The foreman
seeing me standing behind Harris handed me the parcel.
I then asked Harris where he got it from, and he replied
that a man gave it him to pawn. I took him to the station-
house, where I was informed by the Inspector on duty that
a lady had just called to make known that she had just lost
a parcel containing a valuable shawl and dress from a cab.
I then left the prisoner in custody, and went in search of
the other men. Knowing their haunts, I went to a public-
house in Princes-street, Leicester-square. I saw Cooper
fumbling about his pockets. The men with whom
he was drinking made . a bolt, but I captured Cooper
and pushed him under a gateway, where I found
in his pockets a pair of cuffs and a piece
of lace (produced), and in another pocket the pawn-
broker's duplicate. 'The latter referred to a dress pledged
in Princes-street, Leicester-square, for £1 10s. I asked
him whose dress it was, and he said "it was his old
woman's." I then took 'rim to the station-house.
61 I The dress was produced by the pawnbroker.

Miss Annie Collison identified the shawl and dress as
her property. The cuffs and lace had been attached tothe
dress. She missed the shawl and dress from a cab which
she had left waiting for her at the corner of Southampton-
street and Maiden-lane, where she had called to make some
purchases at a chemist's shop there. The shawl was worth
£l5, and the dress more than £5.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
