DANIEL WITHEY, Theft > burglary, 20th February 1822. 384. DANIEL WITHEY was indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Caroline Steitz , widow , at St. Mary-le-bone, about twelve o'clock in the night of the 26th of January , with intent to steal. JOHN ARTINDALE . I am a journey-man baker, to Caroline Steitz , widow, who lives in Little Mary-le-bone-street, in the parish of St. Mary-le-bone ; she rents the whole house. On Saturday night the 26th of January, from eleven o'clock till a little after twelve, I was sitting in the parlour, the door was on the latch. One of her daughters came in about twenty minutes before twelve o'clock, she opened the door herself - I saw the door after that, and it was closed; nobody came in after her. As I sat in the parlour, one of the daughters got up, and screamed out that there was a man in the shop; I went and found the prisoner opening the street door, he got out and was stopped immediately, without my losing sight of him; he said it was not him. Another man ran out after I got out. I missed nothing. MARY ANN STEITZ . I am the daughter of Caroline Steitz . I came home about twenty minutes before twelve o'clock, and am sure I closed the door - there were five of us in the parlour, behind the shop. I heard the door open, and shut - I looked round the shop, saw nobody, returned to the parlour, and in five or ten minutes, a lamp which was burning on the counter went suddenly out; I got up to see the cause, and on getting into the shop, I saw a man on his knees behind the counter, his hands were on the counter - I screamed out, and he crawled to the door; I followed and kept him in sight till he was taken, it was the prisoner. Another man in light clothes ran from the house immediately after the prisoner. JOHN CUNDALE . I live nearly opposite the prosecutrix's at a chandler's-shop; I saw the prisoner and another man come out of the door - the prisoner came out first; I stopped him immediately as he crossed the road; he ran into a public-house. I am sure he came out of the house. SAMUEL PRENDERGRASS . I received him in charge, and found three duplicates on him. Prisoner's Defence. I was in the public-house from eight o'clock till between eleven and twelve, and as I came out, this man stopped me, and said "This is him; you have been in that shop." GUILTY - DEATH . Aged 19.
