ihe testimony Of a Waiter in the, house, it app. tired
that the prisoner went into the Colfee-rc.om on the
preceding evening, and alter drinking two glasses
of gin and water, for which he paid,. he Was going

ed to his intstreas, and informed her that he su.spe;'.t-
ed the prisoner Qt having the spoons in his possession.
She imme,liattly directed that he should be seroched,
but the prisoner Observing 50... e degree of btistle,
returned to the bar, where, in a stamtnering tone
he asked, could he be accommodsred with a bed,
and on being answered in the affirmative, he sat
down 'within th.: bar, Still assuming the appearance
of a drunken man. Shortly afterwards the cham-
ber-maid and the potter conduNed him to a bed;
room, where the latter stripped him, and placed
him in bed, and on.his retiring, the waiter desired
him to go fur a Constable, while he watched the
cOndua of the prisoner. Scarcely was the drun44
man left to himself, when he got out of bed per-
lecily recovered, and approaching his coat, Which
iay on a chair, he took front it twolea.spoong. At
that moment the waiter entered and detetied bins

out assistance, having apparently quite recovered front
the effects of his Bacchinialian fit. Amongst other
articles of wearing apparel which he took into the
rooin with him, was a great coat, which he scent-
ed extremely reluctant to put on. The waiter
seartned the pockets of his coat, and found in it ti
yellow silk handkerchief, which be suspected to be
the property 'of 'a Gentleiwn lodgot in the bowie
and on going down to.the..Cotfee..room, where the
Gentleman then was, he was confirmed in his bus-
itcions, the gentleman clitimiog it, and saying he
bad kit it in his great, coat in' the bar. Search was
inunediately made for the coat, hut. it was not to be
tound. Upon, examining the coat which the prison-
er arpeated so relllClettlt wear,, it was diNCOVered to
be that which was missing.
Amongst other hings,found on the prisoner, were
. i 7 pawnbroker's duplicates for sheets, spoons, and
wearing apparel..

committed for a turther examination, and de-.
sired, that in the inlet lin, inquiries should be made
respeeting 'the poverty which had been pawned by
him.
