THOMAS HOPKINS and RICHARD WILTSHIRE , were indicted for stealing, on the 20th of January , one great coat, value 10s. , the property of Samuel Bell . SAMUEL BELL . I live in Gough-square . On the 20th of January my coat hung up in the passage, the prisoner, Hopkins, came to the door with a note, between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, I opened the door to him, he gave me the note, and said it came from Mrs. Brown, Stanhope-street; I left the passage with the door open; I went into the parlour, and gave my father the note, and came outdirectly, and found he was gone and my great coat also. I am sure it was there when he came to the door. I ran into the square, and saw him running down Harp-alley, I laid hold of him, but he had not got the coat; a few minutes after the prisoner, Wiltshire, was taken. I am sure, Hopkins is the man, the letter was directed to my father, and soliciting charity, signed Mary Brown ; we did not know any such person. WILLIAM MATTINGLY . I live in Brick-lane. On the 20th of January, I was going by Wine-Office-court, which is close to Mr. Bell's house, I heard the alarm, I saw the prisoner, Wiltshire, pass me and drop the coat; I pursued him, and took him in a gateway in the court, within six yards from where he dropped the coat, he was secreted in one of the gardens-as soon as he saw me he began to run towards Fleet-street, I pursued him down Waterlane and took him. I told him I had got the property that he had dropped. He said he was no thief. (Property produced and sworn to.) HOPKINS - GUILTY . Aged. 18. WILTSHIRE - GUILTY . Aged. 18.
