Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening I was coming up the narrow part of the place, and saw the prisoner inside Mrs. Ellis's house, looking out on the step of the door—she went in again, and I got just up to the door, when she came out with the violin in her hand—I followed her, and told Mrs. Ellis's son, who caught hold of her, and took it from her—she said nothing. JOSEPH ELLIS . In consequence of what Cutler told me, I stopped the prisoner, and took a violin from her—I have seen her come into my mother's shop to sell fiddle-bows—she lives with a fiddle-bow maker.
