ROBERT EMMERSON. I am a finisher and packer , and live in Coleman-street - I have no partner; the prisoner was in my service, as under carman ; I was not at home when this happened - my foreman knows the circumstances. WINTER WINTERBOTTOM . I am foreman to Mr. Emmerson. On the 20th of June, a little after two o'clock, I saw the cart and horse; there were two pieces of woollen cloth, an end and half of cloth, in it - that would be about one hundred yards; it was to go to Mr. Lee, of Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields - it would not take above two hours to go there; the prisoner was to drive the cart, and had the care of the goods; he did not come back; the stables are near master's house - I did not go to the stables that evening; I saw the cart and horse about half-past nine o'clock on the following morning, in the yard of a public-house in Vassall's-road, North Brixton, about three miles from London-bridge - the cloth was gone; I went to Mr. Lee, but did not find the cloth; the prisoner was taken into custody on the 25th of September - I did not see him before he was taken; he was in master's constant service, as under carman, and had given no notice: I asked him if he knew me; he said No: he used to see me every day - the cloth has not been found - the horse was a gelding. ROBERT BURDETT . I am servant to Mr. Emmerson. I measured the cloth - there was 113 yards of woollen cloth; I did not see it put into the cart; it was to go to Mr. Lee's, of Great Queen-street - I have not seen it since; the prisoner was in master's service about two months; I saw him at the Magistrate's office when he was taken. WINTER WINTERBOTTOM re-examined. I saw the cloths put into the cart; the prisoner put three packages in himself - I put in one; I found the delivery-book next morning, behind some more cloths - he ought to have taken it with him - I have not got it here. GEORGE LEE . I live in Great Queen-street. I ent four packages of cloth, containing above 100 yards, to Mr. Emmerson, to be pressed - I have never got them back; they should have been delivered to me before the end of June; it was worth between 40l. and 50l. - I do not know the prisoner. JAMES CRUNDALL . I am a builder, and live in Vassall-place, Brixton. About nine o'clock on the night of the 20th of June, I saw the horse and cart near the Perseverance public-house, Vassall-road, nobody was with it - I told the landlord he had better take care of it, as there was nobody to take charge of it - nobody claimed it then. MATILDA PRATT . I live at No. 16, Vassall-road, Brixton, and am servant to Mrs. Bell. On the 20th of June, See original between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, I saw this horse and cart nearly opposite the Perseverance public-house - a man was with it then; directly he brought it, he jumped out, and ran up the road, leaving it there - I cannot speak to the man; it stood there till after nine o'clock, and the watchman took it into the Perseverance yard. ROBERT STOKES . I am a watchman. I went on my beat at a quarter-past nine o'clock, and directly took the horse and cart into the yard of the Perseverance; there was nothing in the cart except a whip: I went next morning and informed Mr. Emmerson's foreman, in Coleman-street, as the name of "Robert Emmerson, Coleman-street," was on the cart - he claimed it when he saw it. THOMAS HARRISON . I am an officer of St. Luke's parish. I heard Mr. Emmerson had been robbed; and about the 18th of September I saw the prisoner at the corner of Whitecross-street, and secured him; I told him I took him about the cloth in Coleman-street - he said he knew nothing about it: when I got him to the watch-house, I asked how he happened to lose the horse and cart; he said he went into a baker's-shop to buy a 1d. loaf, and some one drove away with the horse and cart - that he followed them as far as Blackfriars'-bridge, and could not catch them; I neither threatened, nor made him any promise: I asked why he did not go back and tell his master; he said he was afraid - he did not say where the baker's-shop was - I found no money on him. Prisoner's Defence. On the 20th of June I was trusted with the cart and cloth to take to Queen-street - I went by St. Clement's church; I went into a baker's-shop, and bought a 1d. loaf, then went into a public-house at the corner of New castle-street to get some refreshment, and when I came out the cart was gone; I proceeded after it down Fleet-street - I found it had gone over Blackfriars'-bridge, but could gain no further intelligence of it.
