John Owen was charged with stealing two pieces of bacon from
the shop of a cheesemonger in Bermondsey-street. The prose-
cutor stattd, that the prisoner was so adroit in the art of purloining,
that scarcely a shop in the neighbourhood had escaped. Wed-
nesday night, perceiving him near at hand, he watched and de-
tected him in the act of taking two pieces of bacon. He called
an officer. who searched Dim, and found in his wallet 14 lbs. of
bacon, balf.a.quartern loaf, and three Yorkshire cakes. The officer
produced them, with two half-crowns and some halfpence, also
found in his possession.
