ALBERT JAMES AVERY and JOHN OLIVER were indicted for stealing, on the 9th of August , one handkerchief value 3s., the property of Thomas Prendergast , from his person . MR. THOMAS PRENDERGAST . I live in St. James-street. On the 6th of August, I was on this side Temple-bar , going home about two clock in the afternoon, and was informed my handkerchief was gone; I immediately missed it. JOHN CARLISLE . I am an officer. On the 6th of August, between one and two o'clock, I saw the prosecutor in Fleet-street, going towards Temple-bar, and saw the prisoners, standing together, leaning over a post at the corner of Salisbury-court; I had been following them before. They followed the prosecutor, when he passed them. Avery went behind him just at Water-lane, he put his hand into the prosecutor's pocket-Oliver was close behind him; Avery pulled the prosecutor's handkerchief about half way out, the prosecutor still went on; Oliver went up and took it quite out. I laid hold of Avery, and told the prosecutor to hold him while I fetched the other; I followed him through several courts with the handkerchief in his hand, it was red with white spots. He turned to the right into Bouverie-street, and Fleet-street again; crossed Fleet-street into another court and went into a house there, he shut the door, I opened it, but lost sight of him. I returned to Fleet-street, took Avery from the prosecutor and took him to the Compter. I returned, and saw Crouch in Fleet-street with Oliver, I had informed him of the circumstance; the handkerchief has never been found. I was on the opposite side to the prosecutor. EDWARD CROUCH . I am a constable. I was in Fleet-street and saw Avery in custody of last witness; he gave me information about Oliver.
