HENRY CROSS . I am servant to John Chamier , Esq. who lives in Grosvenor-place . The prisoner was employed as a journeyman to paint the house ; he left on the 19th of October. On the 31st we missed the property stated in the indictment. My master's were kept in the drawers on the third floor, the others were in a closet on the ground floor. I do not know when they were taken. On my missing them I went to Mr. Eagan the prisoner's master, and informed him that I suspected the prisoner, and in consequence of what he told me, I had the prisoner apprehended that day, and found two shirts on his back, which were Mr. F. Chamier's; also a cravat, a pair of stockings, and a pair of drawers, which were my master's. We found three or four duplicates on him, which he said were for part of the property stolen, and told us where they were pledged. Some of the things were pledged at Bath; he said he had been there.
