I kept by the lead, and kept hold of the prisoner; he was very much alarmed at my catching hold of him. As soon as he came to speak, I said what did you drop the lead for; he said he had it not. I instantly, when the other officers came up, turned him round to let them see the dirt marks that were on his clothes; the prisoner was secured, and the lead was advertised, and on Tuesday the 5th of May this piece of lead was produced at the office by Mr. Walker, a plumber; I then produced this piece of lead, and it tallied with the other.
