HANNAH MAYHEW . I am the wife of William Mayhew; I live at No. 30, New-road, St George's in the East . I lost my property on the 16th of November, between five and six in the evening, the prisoner Myers took the piece of cotton net out of a window where the pane of glass was broken in the inside sash; the prisoner Myers took it out, and put it into his pocket. Q. The glass was broken before, was it - A. Yes, I saw him put it into his pocket. I went into the next door, there was no one with me at that time. The prisoner Abrahams had been in the shop a minute before, and had left the shop before Myers came in, and took it; Abrahams came into the shop before Myers, he asked to look at some handkerchiefs. In about a minute after Myers came in; I called my husband, and while my husband turned his back to take some stockings down, I saw Myers put his hand into the side sash, and took the cotton net; my husband came round to assist me; he threw the cotton net down: I laid hold of Myers' coat. Q. Where was Abrahams all this time - A. I believe he was standing some where about the door; the two prisoners were never in the shop together; Myers denied taking the cotton net, and after he took it out of his pocket, he said, he meant to purchase it; this is the cotton net; it is my husband's property.
