with one of die prisoner's shoes, soil compared the shoe
with wine marks in the saw-dust which had been thrown
upon this' floor of the warehouse on Saturday evening,
and the one corresponded with the other. The shoe was
remarkable on account of being uncommonly large. It
appeared, that after the saw-ilitst we. strewed upon the
floor, no person bad any business there.
When the warehouseman, who stated this fact, gave
his evidence,
Mr. TVIITON. the prisoner's Confute!, desired that his
shoe might be compared with that witieit befogged to the
prisoner, and there was, in point vi sire, scarcer• say dif-
ference between then,.
On questions being pin by Mr. Tca•rox to two of the
prosecutor's servants, they stated that, if a stranger
came into the shop to tiny a cheese, they were not in
