you mast be a man with one hand.
Prisoner—Come, come, tell me whether I did not buy twine
and
_binding at your shop? (In a menaeng tone) Answer
me that. *

The Loaf• MAYOR—DO not address her in so brutal a
manner.

Prisoner—l do not mean to say that I was not in Silver-street
that night. I am going to prove that I was at her shop that
night, and what I bought there. I went in there, and she
knows it, and I bought half a pound of twine and half a pound
of binding. I.don't deny anything that actually ti ok place.
Mrs. Lewis—Now I recollect, he brings it to my recollection_
Be came for half a pound of binding and a pennyworth of twine..
Mr. nobler—Do you believe him to be the man ? Mrs,
Lewis—l do. Now he has brought it to my recollection, he
came just before I shut up the shop.
Mr. llobler—Did he bring any person with him ? Mrs.
Lewis—l did not see anythirg.
Prisoner—l bought binding and twine there. as I told you,
though she was so unwilling to acknowledge it.
Mrs. Lewis, who appeared to be labouring under the infirmi-
ties of age, said, Now I remember it. You are the man.
Prisoner—Pray, Mrs. Lewis, did you never live in Addle-
street? Mrs. Lewis—Yes. I did.

Prisoner—Oh, you did ! Pray were you ever taken up for
an% thing ? Mrs. Lewis—Never.
Prisoner—Was your husband ever taken up? Mrs. Lewis—
lie was once in trouble at Guildhall, but he was discharged.
Prisoner—For receiving stolen goods? Mrs. Lewis—Fie
vas taken up on suspicion of it, but he was discharged. Never
but once.

The Loan MAYOR—And you were never taken up yourself?
Mrs. Lewis—Never in my life, except on the night Godwin
the policeman took me to the sta'ion house. My husband has
been dead these four years.
Prisoner—lt was about four months and a half ago, her hus-
band was apprehended for receiving stolen goods. She knows
me wrll, although it is hard to make her acknowledge it.
William hite, pclic,man No. 112. identified the prisoner
as the person he saw go with Godwin, the policeman, into
1111 s. Lewis's house; and repeated nearly the evidence given
by him at the Justice-room, and the Central Criminal Court.
When he mentioned that part of it in which the prisoner was
represented as having said, " There ought to have been an-
other, to help to take her."
The prisoner interrupted him, and declared that he merely •
said it in passing, as a joke.
The Loan MAYQR—Did you see the prisoner and Godwin
go into Mrs. Lewis's house ? Witness—l did, and I supplied
them pith a light from my lantern.
Prisoner—Did I seem at all, by my conduct, to show that I
wished to avoid being seen? Witness—No; I never said
you slid. . _ _

Prisoner—Pray (lid you not drink with: me in a public -
house? Witness—Certainly not.
Prisoner—That. you certainly did. You drank with me in
the public-house on the left-hand side, where they fill the best
gin out of a decanter.
The LORD MAYOR—Do you deny having drank with him,
witness ? Witness—l do, my Lord. He is a most false man
to say I did.
Prisoner—l have witnesses to prove that we drank togetl.er.
I knew the..e ornamented collar gentleman well, and I can
pr )ve that I have often drank with them in Fenchurch-street.
The prisoner, who acted in the rudest manner to the Court,
and the most brutal manner to the pour old woman, was then
remanded.
