I am the son of Joseph Bradley , dealer in shop fixtures , Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Innfields . This door was missed between eight and nine o'clock on Monday morning - I had seen it about an hour before; I saw it again on Thursday, in possession of Moseley, and knew it well - it is a large street door, and stood at our door for sale. DAVID POCOCK . I am in the employ of Mr. Moseley, dealer in building materials, Cottage-place, City-road. The prisoner came to the yard, on Monday, the 5th of October, and asked for the owner of the yard; I asked what he wanted - he said he had a door to sell, and it was at the gate; I looked at it - it was on a truck; he wanted 15s., for it - master was not at home, and told him to come another time; he came twice, and was detained.(Property produced and sworn to.) RICHARD MOSELEY . Pocock called me to the prisoner on Tuesday, the 6th, when he came for the money for the door, which was in my yard - I detained him, and asked where he got it; he said it was his own - I sent for an officer; he then walked out of the place, and said he would show me his master, who it belonged to - I followed him, and in King-square he made a blow at me, knocked me down, and ran round the square; I followed, and took him in a minute, and am certain of his person.

I met a man, who said he had a door and a bedstead against the wall: he employed me to get a truck, and carry them to Old-street - when we got there, he said, "Take this door, and sell it at a broker's, and meet me here by the turnpike," and said, "Get 15s. for it, if not take what you can get;" I went to the yard - this man offered me 7s., and gave me 2s. - I was to call tomorrow for the rest, as his master was out; I went for it in the morning - he said his master was out, and the man said I was making a fool of him.
