MA nsION -Roust .--Yesterday, John ll'alibrd, a
delivering potter, and. George and Joseph, two post-
chaise bOyli, belonging to the Saracen's Head Inn:,
Snow-hill, were charged by their mast. 14, Mr.
Stephens, the proprietor of the Inn, with stealing
twelve parcels, containing gloces, on Saturday night
last, belonging to a person or petsons unknown.
John Walford, in his defence, sated, that, on,
Satuiday night, he. found the paicels,outside of the
office door, and that he gave them to George'take
• care of until they were inquit ed for.
Geoige, in his defence, said, -that, on Saturday
night, Watford called ,him into the stable, ,and
asked him to take care of some packages for him.—
He wished him to carry .them to his lodgings, and
he would call for them the next Mot mog. He'
took out his pocket-handkerchief, for the purpose of
putting them in, when Walford said, it would not
hold them, and inquired, if he. could not get a
bag He replied, he had no such ihing ; but he
had a horse-cloth in the stable, -which he got, and
Walford put the bundles in it, and he carried them
to his lodgings. He did not think that they. were
stolen. He supposed they were some packages Wal-
ford had to deliver in the morning, for which he
was to receive the profits, for his own benefit.
In answer to a question put by tke Lord Mayor,
he said, he never had heard that porters at inns
were allowed such perquisites. Early on Sunday
morning Walford called on him, and asked for the
bundles, which he produced. He.then borrowed
his knife, and began to cut the the outside covets-,
of the parcels. He; the prisoner, George, began
to think all was not right. He aked him what
they contained ? to which he answered, he b,lieved
stockings; oft which the prisoner, Geo•ge, took 31,1
bundle of them, and latd them by for 14ialselifur
the purpose, it there cc as any charge brought, they
might be the means of clearing him, as he would be
enabled to produce them, and tell where the re-
mainder were.

In answer to another -question put by the Lord
Mayor, he said, he did nut inform his master, or any
other person, of the circumstance. After Watford
had stripped the outward co% ers otf, he went away,
leaving the bundles behind him.. At eleven, he
returned, and told 'hint, that he, George, must
remove the bundles to a house, which he pointed
Out, as they Were su,pea-ted. He replied, it was a
job he had brOught hun into; he took the bundles
to the hoUse, but there was not any person at home,
He then went to several public-houses, for the Or-
pose of leaving them, but he could not gain admit-
tance, it being during service time. At a public-
house, near London-bridge, he stew a coach4,an go-'
ing in a back way. He tollosved him and asked if
there were any post-chaise drivers there ? he was
answered there were ; and he saw John Alshop, to
whom •he delivered the parcels, and told him he
would call again for them in the evening, which he
would have done if his room had not been broken
open by the officers; and the parcel found, which he
contended should clear him by its production. He
was also taken into custody.
The LORD MAYOR informed him he,ought to be •
cautious how-he spoke, for he had already made a
confession' of giailt, .without being called on ; *he
therefore advised. him to. be. silent.

Joseph, in ins defence, said, " That Walford had
married his sister, on Sunday Morning. Shortly
atter the ceremony had been performed, he asked'
him to take six parcels, containing six pairs of gloves
each, to dispose of for him ?—he said he had bought
them, and Wtshe.l to setl them to-the best advan-
tage. He took them to a Jew in Duke's-place; who
only oflered him set en shillings for them; which
he refused,. saying, they did not belong to him, and
that he was sure the owner would not be satisfied
to sell them at so low a rate. 1 then .returned to
the lodgings of Walford , ant-found that he and his
sister were gone ant to walk ; he then went over
London-bridge, and left the bundles at a public-
house in the Borough. , He saw 'Walford, that.
night, who told him not to take any thing like the
sum; for he had paid six times more for them..
On Monday he went to Greenwich fair with a party
of friends; on his return,/he called for the parcels,
and as he came over -London-bridge, he was taken
into custody." •
_

The to-rd Mayor direaled 'that- Mr. Stephens
should make every inquiry to find out who the
goods belonged to ;. and, until he gained that infor-
rn.ujon.,.lie• would remand the prisoners for further.
examination.
