I am shopman to William Brown, a linen-draper , of the Minories . On the 18th of April the two prisoners came to the shop together, between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, and asked to look at some Irish linen - they looked at some, and I turned to get some more - my back was not turned more than a minute. Vallance then bought two yards of linen; they left the shop, and I missed a piece of printed cotton from the counter; I knew it had been there an hour before, but I thought it might have been removed. I went out, and brought them back - they had got about twenty yards. I brought them into the shop, and Bell dropped this piece of print from her, which I had seen on the counter. Prisoner BELL. Q.

I asked her to show me a linen-draper's-shop - we went to the further end of the shop; there were several pieces of linen. HENRY BROWN re-examined. Q. How near were they together when they returned?
