MARY BUCKLE . I am the wife of John Buckle. Ann Tayton is my daughter's child ; she had on a necklace which was my husband's property on the 15th of May: we keep a broker's shop in Old-street ; I was sitting at the door, the child went to the corner of a chest of drawers, and up a court - she came back, and said a boy had taken the necklace; I got up, and saw two boys - I said, "Are these the boys?" she said No; I saw a Police-man come up, and told him. SARAH FLECKNOE . I was standing at the corner of the court, and the prisoner came down with a shoe he had had mended; the child came round the corner, and he took the necklace off her neck - I saw him do it. DANIEL MULLICE . I saw the prisoner take the beads from the child's neck. Prisoner. He stated, on the second examination, that I took them in front of the child. Witness. He went behind the child.

Yes, but Mullice did not appear that day, and he was remanded till Friday; I asked him, and he said he had not taken them: Flecknoe told me his name. SARAH FLECKNOE re-examined. Q.
