some means, purloined. The. prisoner, in his de-
/fence, said,- that his master had taken a carriage-
load of luggage front Sir William-Cotterell's lodg-
ing, in Duke-street, St. James's ; that by some
means this parcel had been forgotten ; and that
by his master's directions, he was. taking it to 'a
friend of his, in order that it Might he taken care.
of until the owner could be found. The landlady
of the house in Duke-street attended, and said,
she knew the case belonged to Sir William, and
knew it had been put into the coach, with other
articles, but-could not otherwise account for its
being in the possession of the prisoner.

the officer, until means are found for conveying
it to the owner.

that he had been, passed up by the parish-officer:'
of Hollywell, in North Wales, to look for "his pa-
rents, at the Red Lion, in London ; and after
