The prisoner got up behind the carriage, and leaned over till he got to Little Newport-street, and in turning the corner of Leicester-square I saw his hand up, as if he was undoing the braces; he got off the carriage in Chandler-street, St. James's, with the braces in his hand. I took him into custody under the piazzas of the Opera House with the braces. I had been watching him three nights. (Property produced and sworn to.) Prisoner's Defence. I picked them up. GUILTY .
