Mr. Scott stated, that he left his horse at the door of a Mr. Ferguson on Bachelor’s-walk, on Tuesday last, and having gone into the house, he found that the animal had vanished during his absence—he naturally looked after his …., and saw at distance a young man riding him at a slow pace—when arrived at the corner of Liffey street, the prisoner went into canter, and the witness into a gallop, in consequence of which he succeeded in having the prisoner stopped—on asking him what he wanted with the horse, he said that he merely wished to exercise him—-witness said that he should exercise himself in the police office, and had him accordingly conveyed to Henry street office, from whence he was committed for trial.
