My wife was in the shop serving; she is not here. They gave a great deal of trouble. They were shewn three drawers of ribbons; my wife served them; they purchased a bit of ribbon at threepence a yard; they paid for it. The prisoner Perry paid me for it; they left the shop; in about five minutes after they left the shop, Johnson the officer came in. He produced four pieces of the ribbons. three of which I can swear to be mine, and the fourth piece, I missed a piece resembling it in make and shape; the fourth piece I was not so sure of as the three, it had no mark; the other three pieces had. They were worth twenty shillings, to the amount of sixty yards. BENJAMIN JOHNSON . I am a city officer. On the 20th of last month, on my going up Holborn, I met the three prisoners. Suspecting their intention, I followed them from Holborn to 100, Holywell-lane, Shoreditch, to Mr. Lack's shop; they continued in company all the way. At Mr. Lack's shop, Perry and Mascall went in; the other waited outside; the one outside I took into custody before Perry and Mascall came out of the shop. I had a gentleman with me, his name is Musgrove. I desired him, when the two others came out of the shop, for him to take me, and I would take the other. I laid hold of them when they came out, with his assistance; Mascall had the umbrella. I saw by the appearance of the umbrella, I thought there was something in it that ought not to be. In the umbrella there was four pieces of ribbon at the bottom; here are the three pieces that are marked; these three pieces were shown to Mr. Lack, and claimed by him and his wife. Mascall said she had not taken any ribbon, she had purchased a bit. The three pieces were taken into Mr. Lack's and there they were claimed. These are the the three pieces of ribbon. MR. LACK. My shop mark are upon the ribbons; they are mine. Mascall's Defence. I and Perry went to the prosecutor's shop, and purchased a bit of ribbon.
