I told her, no; the waiter was not there. She asked me if she could get any thing at the tap. I asked her where she was going: she said, Exeter. She went out of the coffee-room towards the tap. Instead of going into the tap, she went out of the wicket at the gate. I did not much like the look of the woman. I went into the kitchen I had seen six or seven pair of boots there; on the evening before they were all right. I looked at the clothes-horse; I recollected there were some clothes there on the evening. I missed some of the clothes. I pursued the prisoner; on Snow-hill I saw her talking to a watchman. I laid hold of her arm and took her to the watchhouse. I found these two gowns upon her; and after searching her some time a candlestick dropped from her clothes. These are the gowns, and this is the candlestick. WILLIAM CHALLIS . I am a patrol of St. Sepulchre's.
