I live in Charlton-street, Westminster-rotd. On the 8th of March, I was in Bridge-street, Blackfriars—I saw the three prisoners together, they were talking, and seemed to be acquainted—they were walking fast after Mr. Biddle, and I saw Johnson take a handkerchief from his pocket and put it into a hand, but I cannot say whose hand—they then went down a turning, which I think is Water-lane—they then came back and went towards the bridge—a young man, who was with me, went after Mr. Biddle, and I followed the prisoners over Blackfriars-bridge—I saw them all taken—the handkerchief was found on Grady—they would not know one another. Grady. Q. Was this in Water-lane? Witness. No, in Bridge-street, and you went down Water-lane—I was on the other side of the way, but I crossed after you—I did not hear Roberts speak to the others, but the others followed a gentleman down Bankside, and I went after them.
