SECOND COUNT, the same, only stating the note to be the property of John Coventry . RICHARD DUDMAN . I am servant to Mr. John Coventry , who lives on Ludgate-hill. On the 19th of March, I stopped to look in Tegg's shop, at the corner of Honey-lane-market , and heard the officer call out, "Who has lost a book?" I immediately missed my pocket-book from my left-hand coat-pocket. I turned round, and saw the officer with it in one hand, and the prisoner in the other - several people were looking into the shop - the note was my master's. JOHN LEWIS . I am an officer. I saw the prisoner and another in company at Johnston's print-shop, in Cheapside. They attempted several gentlemen's pockets, who were looking in at the window. They then walked to Tegg's, returned to Johnston's, and then to Tegg's again. I then saw the prisoner come out of the mob. I crossed over, and saw the pocket-book in his hand, trying to put it in his left-hand coat-pocket - he could not get it in. He then put it in the right pocket. I collared him, he tried to get it out. I took it from him, and asked who had lost it? Dudman claimed it. I found a very handsome snuffbox on him. (Property produced and sworn to.)
