receive money, and it witness would call at his house in
I:akin-row, New Kent-road, in the evening, bringing the mare
with him, he should receive the price agreed upon. Witness
accordingly rode there, and upon alighting a boy was sent out to
bold the animal, while he was politely banded into the parlour, and
invited to drink some gin. While be was waiting, expecting every
moment to see the money produced, and listening to a general
conversation, be beard Ilse boy and the black mare had disappeared.
White went out to look after them, and Simpson made some ex-
cuse for delaying payment till Friday, upon which dry witness
went again, but got no satisfrction.
Joseph Alexander. of Little Frederick-place, Southwark Bridge-
road, said, that in October, 1827, he took a horse to S • Infield
fur aide, and was introduced .by some person to the prisoner,
who was at a public•bouse in Charterbouse-lane, and was repre-
sented to be an extensive grazier. White agreed to give M.
for the horse, saddle, and bridle, and said be was going to re-
ceive sonic money from his talesstiro, and would pay the amount,
if witness would bring the house to his house in Charics
Northan.ptonosquare, in the evening. lie went there, and the
horse was taken charge of by a lad who came out of the house,
and who was directed to take it round the corner to the stable.
After this had been done. White told witness that be had been

disappointed respecting the money, his salesman having left the
market before he looked for him. To satisfy hint, however, he
would give him his promissory note, merely to bold till the next
market day, when the eighteen pounds should be paid. The
horse having been led away, witness thought he had better take
the bill than nothing ; and be became alarmed when he looked
in vain for the stable just round the corner which he had beard
of. When he called again en the following market day, he was
told White had gone to Bristol fair, and had not been able to
meet with hint since, or get value Co; the bill or the horse.

letter Hum him, a 1111111111111 l that be had disputed three cows
and two calves to the prisoner, who then appeared to be a seesisman,
in Clutched Friars; that upon driving them there, he was invited
into the house, as it to receive payment, when White asked hint
for the difference of a draft of eighty pounds, the price or the cattle
being forty-tour pounds. Christopher admitted he was unable to
give him the dtfiereuce, and the cows having been driven away
while be was amused within doors, he was obliged to agree to give
hint a few days' credit. White told him to bring two more cows
on an early day, and then he should be paid foe all but when the
time fixed Art ived, he found White had disappeared altogether.—
Witness's ulnae's increased through the above and other such
losses, and he became an inmate in Whitecross street gaol, wheat
ht one day met with White, who came In to see an acquaintance.
