young man of about twenty.five'yeats of age, dark

Witnes-s conceived.to have been done With intent-to
congeal, in the arm of his coat, some articles
-he suspected' the Prisoner had previously se.
creted in his sleeve. Mrs. Turkey then observed to
the Witness, that the Prisoner was the person who
had been in, the shop some time befoie; and 'that,
immediately after he went away, she had missed
three gold seals. She 'then Went 'out with the Pri-
soner, carrying the goods' he had ordered, towards
.Old Litind-street, and requested• the Witness, and
'another young Gentleman who was then in the
shop, to follow them at a distance. The Witness
accordingly folloWed. When Mts. Tuckey and she
Prisoner had &Int a little way together, he told her
' he had .business at a stationer's shop' opposite,- and
would be with her immediately. The PriSoner then
ran away" (as Witness supposed; upon
,seeing him
follow).. Witness pursued him fur some time,
caught him, and Out him into a coach, and proceed-
ed, to 'bring him to Marlborough-street; but Pd.

the coach door, leaped out, and again attempted to
run away ; but, was,' after a violent' scuffle, se.
curect. When brought to the watch-house, lie said
his name was Moore. Mrs. Tuckey afterwards,
upon inquiry, found, that no such person as Mrs.
Winchester had ever lived at MtS..Whitley's, in

young Lady, with whom he had been acquainted
for about two years, .She,was perfefily: well able
to par for the goods he, had ordered, and kept her
own house.and'servants.
The second charge preferred against the Prisoner
was by Michael inglefield, who deposed that he had
been servant to Mrs. Elver, of New Bond.street,
jeweller, some time ago and remembered the Pri.
sonet coming to his mistress's shop, • early in the
morning, about the Jodi of last Jan. and ordering
