I also found a pillow and a bed at Walter's. JOSEPH ADAMS . I am a constable. On the 19th of December, in the evening, the prosecutors informed me, through an interpreter, that the prisoner had enticed them from their ship, and robbed them. They afterwards brought him to the watch-house themselves. JOHN TODD . On the 17th of December the prisoner pledged a watch with me for 7 s., and on the following Monday Tesnor claimed it. On the 18th he pledged a pair of boots, which Gurr claimed. DANIEL TESNOR (through an interpreter). The prisoner enticed us from our ship, and asked me to shew him my watch; he took us to a house kept by Marshall, in Gill-street . I shewed to him, and he took it from me - I did not give him leave to pledge it; I saw him take it into the shop, but did not know what he was going to do with it. When he came out I asked him what he had done with it? He said he had pawned it, but I should soon have it again - I said I could not help it; he took a pair of boots from me without leave. On the 18th of December he took us to the Borough, and said he could get us a ship. He gave us a false pass, and left us there at a public-house at nine o'clock at night; Gurr was with me. Three days before that, he took us to lodge at Marshall's. JOACHIM GURR . The prisoner came on board our ship, took us ashore, and said he had got a ship for us. On Monday I missed my trowsers and bed from the lodgings - I never gave him leave to take them. I afterwards found him in the street with my trowsers on; I found my bed at Walter's, who is a dealer in marine stores. (Property produced and sworn to) Prisoner's Defence. I meant to redeem them.
