WILLIAM HOME . I am a gardener. On the 24th of March, between six and seven o'clock in the morning, I was in the New-road, East India-fields , and saw the prisoner alone with a tub on his head, and a pail in his hand - I went up to him and told him I thought they were stolen, looked into the pail, and took out a green baize, some leaden pipe, and a brass cock. I took the pipe andcarried it to Mr. Eld, and knocked him; the prisoner walked backwards and forwards in the road the while - he could not have escaped without my observing him.
