HENRY HOFFHAM . I am a broker , and live in Vine-street, Minories ; that is my private dwelling-house. I lost these things from that house between nine and ten last Thursday morning; they were taken out of the hall. CATHERINE BECKET . I am servant to Mr. Hoffman. I heard the door shut at about nine o'clock last Thursday morning; it had been open. I went to the hall, and missed the coats and spencer immediately; I went to the door, and saw two men running with the things. The prisoner dropped the spencer, and I ran after him; I secured him, and brought him back to my master's house. I am sure he is the man; I saw him with the spencer, and I saw him throw it down. JOHN HAGARTY . I attempted to stop the other man; but he got away. (Property produced, and sworn to.) Prisoner's Defence.
