Prisoner's Defence. On 14th Dec. a man employed me to lead a horse to the Buffalo's Head, Marylebone, and promised to meet me there by two o'clock in the afternoon, and while on my way there I was apprehended; I know nothing of the man; he said his name was Hill, and he lived at Edgeware, but I am not able to make the necessary inquiries; I was at Bankside on the Saturday that it is said she was stolen; persons of the name of Boston and Pretty were with me; why did not the man wait to see if Mr. Hill came? it is not likely I should lead the mare about an hour, in the middle of the day, if I had stolen it.
