was placed at the bar and indicted with feloniously ie
citing one Henry Sellers to stet/1611)s. of indigo, and eflo
afterwards feloniously receiving the same, well knoll"'
it to have been stolen.
The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. Iluddlestot'
pleaded not guilty. Mr. Ballantine conducted the PP
secution.
Il enry Sellers, the prosecutor, said—l am fifteen no,
of age, and live at 5, Brown's-buildings, with my fe4'dis

warehouse. I was in the service of Messrs. WlO4,
':
Newman, and Co., indigo-brokers, as an errand-
nine months before I saw the prisoner. I saw the er.ll-0.
ner for the first time in October last. I was in MiuolPo
lane with another errand. boy. The prisoner called °ljei
Boy," and beckoned me to him. I left the other hoy‘eto
went to the prisoner, who met me half-way, and t"0,
we walked back to the pavement where he was befogiii
He asked me if I was not in the indigo trade, and 1 li
I was. He then asked who my employers were, 011 d
i
replied Messrs. Newman and Co. He asked me ifIf„;l
were not relatives of Wych and Gadsbury, of in
Tower-street, and I said they were. Ile asked le! I
my master had any old indigo samples for sale, and
told him he had not, as master always returned,SPo
samples to the warehouse. Ile stopped to oonimrei
and I asked him what he wanted with me. He eird
me whom I let have any dust, and I told him I flea,g,"gf
perquisites. Sometimes the indigo dust is the percirtnl
of boys. Ho asked me if I received high wages. '4l
him I did not; my wages were ss. a weak, but 10,
sometimes employed on '• sale days," and I then go! 0
more. He said that was very low, and be knew e5l
who were not so old as I who got more money. I 9

I was satisfied, the work was light, and my master Iv 0
very kind to me. Ile said he could
ask
me how I could got more money. I es". 0
him how that was, and he replied " Your master bas •
great many indigo samples, say 100, and if you tasvog
square out of each, you will have 100 ounces, and br
of
them to me, and I shall buy them of you." He did i,llO
then say how much he would give for them. I 101 d P
I could not do it, and that an honest penny was worth
•
o,
silver shilling; and then the other boy came up, and e",O
" Wych, I am going," (we go by our masters' names),
I said, " Good bye, Wood;" that's his employer's Orb, 0
He then went through the sale room, and Barnett .00
prisoner) left me, and followed him. I did not
whether the prisoner followed him. That was eb°o
half-past ten in the morning. I saw the prisoner stg:o
next day, and frequently between that time and the t 1
December, perhaps three times a week or more,
shunned him as much as I could. He always cate°oo
to me, and asked me if I had made up my mind.
Friday, the Bth of December, I saw him hetsmet
Hart-street and Crutched Friars. The sales were 0100
then, and I was out of employ, and had bad
.e
work during the whole of the week, and was stanel'„l
thinking, and ho came up to me and asked what I vi
breaking my head about when the golden ball wee -0
near my hand? I told him nothing. Ile then asked
if I had made up my mind, and I said yes; and I asked ill would bring him some down on Saturday, e'd
he said " No, that is my Sabbath; but let me see yo
down on Monday morning as early as possible;" and e.,
_l;
the Monday I went to my master's to see if here
anything to do. I went about nine in the morning,ll3-
I took down 51b. of indigo and weighed it. On the
•e,),`",
;
day the prisoner told me where he lived. I took 13'0
indigo out of a chest, and put it into two brown PflP,6,•
parcels, one in each pocket, and took it to Barnet;
house, which is an old clothes' shop, I got there ftb°l'
a quarter to ten, and Mrs. Barnett was standing at ~,D
door. She opened the door and let me in, and .called ono
" Barney." There was a servant in the kitchen, wilie.d

looked at them and did not know what to say, and
said " Oh, they don't suit you; come this way,' and al
he took me behind his counter. The servant could IV
see us then. There were some scales on the floor, and /
took the indigo out of my pockets and gave it to hill
He untied the strings and put the indigo in the scale, se.4

peaces. I then left. On the following day I stole

he showed me a meerschaum pipe, and I asked hint e
price of it, and he said he would take 61bs. of indigo rt):1
it; he afterwards said he would take 41bs. for it, e°l
trust to my generosity for the rest.—(Laughter.)
told him be wanted too much he wanted el
for a pipe I could buy anywhere for 2s. 6d. He praise
up the pipe, but I got off by telling him I did not seisoketi
He gave me 4s, for the indigo. The wife came in 913 s
asked me whether I could get any saffron, and I said
would see. She wanted the saffron to colour soup. lle
saffron was sold at 325. per lb., and the prisoner said b:
would give me a good price-4d. an ounce. I went WI;
day to my master's and looked out for some saffron, b 0;
could get none; but I brought 41b. of cochineal, i.
which I got 4s. from the prisoner. On the following del
I stole 51b. more of the indigo and brought it to Bar:
nett, and he said " You are going on any way, like
maid drinks."—(Laughter.) I told him I could not do
any better. I spoke insolently to him, but Ido not re-
collect the very words used, and he said " Take care °'
I'll split." On the following morning I stole 0001
101 b. more of indigo; I was detected that time; I
was going into the counting-house, and the indigo
was in my pocket. I cur slits inside my 06s
to put the indigo in. An officer was then called
in, and the indigo taken from me was marked
with an A. I left one bag behind, and took the other
to the prisoner's house. He was at the door. '1:."
officers came behind me in plain clothes. I gave the ins
digo to the prisoner and he tuck it behind the counter
and gave me 45., which I kept in my right hand. I bad
only a penny with me when I went in. I then cat,
,
out and gave a signal to the officer, and give him the
money.
L.
Cross-examined by Mr. HUDDLESTONE 'for tu., srI.
aoner—l was in the employ of Mr. Hoperoft, florid'
agent, before I went to Messrs. Wych, but I was 0'
turned away by him. I never told- my master or niy
father and mother of the conversation with the prisoner'
because I thought I had sufficient strength in my owfl
fortitude to keep away from him, and because I knew
I told them they would have the,Jew taken Pe
the money in pastry, tobacco, apples, nuts and foolish'
ness. I smoked.

Frederick George Woodgate, a boy who knew the
last witness, confirmed his testimony as to'the'priseeer
beckoning and speaking to Sellers en the first occasion.
Witness's employers were also icdigo brokers, and the
prisoner had spoken to him three or four times before)
