and after looking over the stock of black silk handkerchiefs, which
he persisted in doing, at the darkest end of the shop, though re-
peatedly invited to come near the window, he was about to depart,
without having made a single purchase, when a part of the piece
of silk, which had been lying on the counter, Was observed trailing
below his cloak. The young man who had been attending on
him, Manialy pulled aside the garment, and disclosed the roll
under his arm.--The prisoner was committed.

Arisen from the coachman's not keeping hold of the check string.
