HENRY LAZENBY . I am an oilman , and live in Edward-street, Portman-square , I pay my mother an annuity out of the business, which is carried on in our names. The porter of another warehouse brought me an order for fish sauce, of which we have the exclusive sale - the bottles were put into his basket, he left it in the shop while he went further; he called for it in an hour, and it was missed. WILLIAM MOORE . I keep a glass and china shop, in Church-lane, Strand. On the 30th of October, between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner brought in a basket, and said he had some fish sauce to sell - I considered he had not obtained it honestly, and detained him. I sent for an officer, who opened the basket, and found it was twelve bottles of Harvey's fish sauce; I did not know him before particularly. DANIEL KING . I am porter to Mr. Read, of King-street. On the 30th of October, I went to Lazenby's for six pints and six half-pints of Harvey's fish sauce, to be packed up by the time I returned from Bryanstone-square; on returning it could not be found. The basket is mine. HENRY GROVE . Moore sent for me. I knew the prisoner, I asked what he had got, he refused to tell, and objected to my examining it - I found it contained this fish sauce. I took him to the watch-house, it was about six o'clock. The labels on the bottles, led me to the prosecutors. (Property produced and sworn to.) Prisoner's Defence.
