WILLIAM CAMDEN and JOHN BURN were indicted for stealing, on the 9th of March , ten yards of cotton, value 10 s. , the goods of Richard Darwell . JAMES LANCASTER . I am shopman to Mr. Richard Darwell , a linen-draper , who lives at Cock-hill, Ratcliff . On the 9th of march, at a quarter past eight o'clock at night, Brown informed me two persons had taken a piece of print from the door. I pursued the prisoners, and overtook Camden. Brown said he was an accomplice with Burn. I charged him with it - he denied all knowledge of it. I gave him in charge. CHARLES BROWN . I was going by Darwell's shop, and saw the prisoners and another opposite the shop. Burn crossed over and took a piece of print from the door, and ran towards Shadwell-office. I went in and told them. I and Lancaster went towards Shadwell-office, and coming back met the prisoners, one on each side of the way. He took Camden, and Burn got away.
