JOSEPH PARROTT . I am a night patrol. On the 5th of January, about four o'clock, I was passing Reeves', a pawnbroker, on Snow-hill, and they sent for an officer - I went in, and found the prisoner in the shop; the pawnbroker said, "I give charge of this person for stealing a coffee-mill;" he immediately said, "I am the man that stole it, from my masters, and will go with you where you think proper;" the mill was there - I searched him; he had nothing but an old pocket-handkerchief - he said he had stolen the mill out of the manufactory, and it was the first time he had ever done it - that he had not a friend or relation in the world.
