In consequence of that I went to Winchmore-hill. Q. Did you find there any cart - A. Yes; when I get there the cart was in the public-house yard, the things were taken out, and lodged in the house; a bedstead I saw, and I have sworn it to be mine; the other things I have no doubt is mine. I am sure the bedstead is part of the furniture I bought at Mr. Gundry's house. THOMAS PRIOR.

In the cart was a bedstead, copper tongs, poker, gridiron, a quantity of potatoes, a pair of reins, and a bludgeon; James Lee came out; the constable asked him if he belonged to the cart; he said, I cannot say I belong to it, I am with it.
