THOMAS GOODLUCK . I am a tooth-brush-maker , and live in Hatton-garden ; the prisoner was my apprentice ; I missed a quantity of tooth-brushes and materials; I received information from a person named Saunders, and went to his lodgings on Saffron-hill, and found a quantity of my brushes, and some hair, which I knew to be mine; she then took me to a house in Round-court, Saffron-hill; I found Ann Smith at work there. When I returned the prisoner had absconded; he used to board with me. I missed a quantity more, which I had put in the drawer that day. WILLIAM WAINWRIGHT . I am an officer of Hatton-garden. On the 11th of February I apprehended the prisoner; I asked him why he did not return? he said he was afraid his master would prosecute him. ANN SMITH . I live in Round-court, and close toothbrushes. I received nine dozen tooth-brushes, to complete, about a week before Christmas, for a person at Mr. Jaters'; next day the prisoner came to enquire if I had got them - and told me to get them done by Sunday, and he would call, and pay me; I finished seven dozen by Sunday. The prisoner called, paid for them, and took them away with him. Before I finished the rest he brought me more - he found the hair and handles. On the 3d of February I gave Goodluck six dozen, which the prisoner brought to me. ELIZA JATERS . I am a brush-maker, and live in New-square. About seven weeks ago the prisoner came to me and asked me to draw some tooth-brushes for a person named Hill, who lived in Castle-street; I told him I could not draw; he left about nine dozen - Smith fetched them away; he afterwards asked me to finish some for Mr. Hill. On the 30th of January, Smith brought me some, which I cave to Goodluck. THOMAS MILWOOD . I sell tooth-brushes, and live in Lockhart's-court, Saffron-hill.
