THOMAS POWIS was indicted for stealing, on the 10th of October , forty yards of fearnaught, value 4 l. , the goods of Daniel Deacon and Daniel Deacon the younger. DANIEL DEACON , JUN. I am in partnership with my father, Daniel Deacon - we are carriers at the White Horse, Cripplegate. This property was in our possession. JOHN HINCKLIFF . I am porter to the prosecutors; I had the waggon. I had thirty-one pieces of fearnaught; they came from the country. I was going to unload them at Sparrow-corner, and was stopping at a house out of the rain, when a person came and said a piece was taken from the waggon. I ran out and saw the prisoner about sixty yards from the waggon, with a piece on his shoulder. I came up to him in Queen-street, Rosemary-lane - he was not running; I stopped him there with it. It measured fifty yards. I said, "You rogue, you have robbed me" - he said, "I have not," and threw it down; and struck me in the mouth. I kept hold of him. Prisoner. Q. Did it happen in Sparrow-corner - A. They call it so. It was at Mr. Clarke's back door. HENRY HALES . I am a constable. I took charge of him. (Property produced and sworn to.) JOHN BISSETT . I am a constable of Tower Ward. I was passing by the Hoop and Horse Shoe, public-house, at the bottom of Queen-street, and observed the prisoner drop the property from his shoulder, and strike the waggoner, who held him. I assisted in securing him. MR. WONTNER. The back part of Mr. Clarke's house is in Middlesex, to the best of my belief. Queen-street is in the County. Prisoner's Defence. A gentleman on Tower-hill asked me to carry it to Rosemary-lane for 1 s. This man claimed it. I saw he was not the person who delivered it, so I struck him. GUILTY . Aged 18. Transported for Seven Years . First Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Recorder.
