JOHN SEAMAN. I live in Mary-street, Hampstead-road . On the 6th of June I saw part of a ham and a piece of fillet of veal, which were locked up in my safe, at eleven o'clock that night; I was sent for home the next day, and saw them lying on the mat in a dirty apron. WILLIAM GEARY . I was at work near Mr. Seaman's, in Mary-street, on the 7th of June, about half-past five o'clock, and saw the prisoners lurking about the place together; they turned in towards the brewery, and staid there about a minute or two - they then came out - I did not notice any thing in their hands - one of them then got over the rails and went down the area; I did not see him come away; I spoke to my employer, and went with a fellow workman to see if there was anything in the area, but there was not. JAMES HOUSE . I am a coach carver. On the 7th of June I saw Adams leaning against a lamp post, looking on the opposite side of the way; I went to see what he was looking at, and saw Smith coming from the area of Mr. Seaman's house with something tied up in a dirty apron - I said "What have you got in the apron;" he dropped it but made no answer; I then took the bundle, and Smith ran away; I saw Connolly then come from the area rails; I collared and took him, with the bundle, into the house, and gave them in custody of the person who opened the door. JAMES JEFFERSON . I am servant to Mr. Seaman. About half past six o'clock, on the morning of June the 7th, I was alarmed by the servant calling at the bed-room door that the safe had been robbed - I went down and received the prisoner Connolly and the bundle in charge. ROBERT JACKSON . I was outside a new building in Mary-street, heard a cry of Stop thief, and saw the prisoner Smith running - I stopped and held him a few minutes, but no person coming I let him go.
