Norris, coming in the direction from Barley-hill, and into a pit in the field that the keepers afterwards searched this pit, and found and found the bead of the game-cock, which was produced and identified. Wm. Norris (admitted King's evidence) swore that he went in company of the prisouers to Barley hill; that Cox broke the lock, and then entered the with Naish; that they threw out 4 or fowls; three of which were taken from the premises; but two of those Naish afterwards threw into a pond, through fear of being found out; the third (the game-cock) they took into the pit, where Naish cut off its head and legs. Naish (in his defence) said that Norris himself had stolen the fowls, and now wanted to fix it upon him; tbat upon a former occasion he had committed a theft, and in order to save himself swore that he (Naish) had done it, for which he had undergone 4 months hard labour.
