THOMAS BATTY and JOSEPH PRATT were indicted for stealing, on the 2d of October , one coat, value 12 s. , the goods of John Palmer . JOHN PALMER . I am servant to Mr. Dolly, a fellmonger, who lives at Old Ford. I was in Whitechapel, going home, my coat was buttoned under the pole of the waggon - I saw it safe near the Salmon and Ball, public-house, Bethnal-green , and missed it about a quarter of a mile further. I had seen the prisoners following the waggon from Mile End to the Salmon and Ball, public-house. They were walking together, sometimes round the waggon, and then on the footpath; they must get under the waggon to get it. I was by the side of the horses. Two gentlemen came by in a chaise, and said they were running away with it. I stopped my horses, went on a bank, and saw Batty three or four hundred yards off, with a coat under his arm. Pratt was two or three paces before him, I followed, Batty dropped the coat into a ditch, and then walked away. I caught hold of him - he said he did it from want. Pratt ran off and was taken in about an hour. I am sure he is the boy. CHARLES HUDSON . I am an officer. I took the prisoners in charge. Pratt had been stopped. (Property produced and sworn to.)
