JOHNÂ CARTERÂ , alias REDFERN , was indicted for stealing, on the 11th of October , four silk handkerchief, value 1 l. the property of John Stephenson , privately in his shop . JOHN STEPHENSON . I am a linen-draper , and live at No. 42, Tottenham-court-road . I only know the prisoner by his coming into my shop, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, on the 11th of October; I was in the shop at the time he came in, I was at my writing desk, and my young man shewed him some silk handkerchiefs; I don't believe he bought any; he staid in the shop from six to eight minutes. Immediately after he went away, my young man observed to me, that there was a piece of silk handkerchiefs missing. I told him he had better go to Mr. Thrickley's, the haberdasher; for perhaps the prisoner might be trying to sell them there. On his telling me that a piece of silk handkerchiefs was missing, I missed them myself. I afterwards went to the watchhouse, and saw the prisoner; the watchhouse-keeper had the handkerchiefs then. JOSEPH GLADSTONE . I am shopman to the last witness. The prisoner came into his shop on the 11th of this month, for some silk handkerchiefs; I shewed him several patterns, and at last, he pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket, and said that that was the patterns which he wished; he said, unless we had the same pattern it would not do. I could not come to an agreement with him; he staid in the shop from five to eight minutes; he then went away. As soon as he was gone, I missed a piece of silk handkerchiefs, containing four. I told Mr. Stevenson, and he told me to go to Mr. Thrickley's. I found the prisoner coming out of Mr. Jones's; Mr. Jones is a haberdasher. I stepped into Mr. Jones's, and asked him if a person had been looking at some silk handkerchiefs. I did not find the handkerchiefs at Mr. Jones's. I then crossed over into Mortimer-market, and saw the prisoner pull the piece of handkerchiefs out of his pocket; I stepped up to him; I laid hold of him with one hand, and took the handkerchiefs from him with the other; he got away from me, and ran as hard as he could; I cried stop thief, and he was stopped in the street. The watch-house-keeper has got the piece of handkerchiefs. The prisoner was taken to the watchhouse. JOHN HOWARD . I keep the watchhouse at Charlotte-mews, Tottenham-court-road. The prisoner at the bar was brought to the watchhouse on the 11th of this month, and delivered into my charge, together with this piece of silk handkerchiefs. Prosecutor. They are my property.
