MARY LUCAS . I am the wife of William Lucas, a tailor, in Monmouth-street, St. Giles's. I bought this desk of the prisoner Stoner, on Saturday evening, the 22nd of February, and gave 3s. for it—there was nothing in it. GEORGE JOHN RESTIEAUX (police-constable E 49.)

Leonard. You took me on the following Friday? Witness. I believe it was so—it was on the 24th 1 apprehended Stoner. WILLIAM HEMP . I am a Sheriff's officer. Portman-square is in the parish of Marylebone. Stoner's Defence. I was going down George-street at a quarter-past eight o'clock on Saturday evening, and met a strange man, who asked me to sell the desk for him, if I could I should have half-a-crown—I went and offered it, and the person did not want it—I shook the desk, and shook the pen out, with a piece of paper, and a pen-wiper—I put them into Leonard's hat-box, and then took it to Mrs. Lucas, and she gave me 3s. for it. Leonard's Defence. I know nothing about the things being in my box—I had not been home till three or four o'clock—when I was at the watch-house he brought these things against me.
