I went out in pursuit of the prisoner, and found him near three hundred yards from our house. I desired him to come back with me. I told him there was a mistake in the things that he had bought. He would not come back, but run away; I followed him, and overtook him when he had run about sixty or seventy yards. He had a small bundle under his arm, which I wished him to give me. He would not. I insisted upon his going back with me. He attempted to untie the bundle. When I saw that he endeavoured to untie the bundle, I snatched it away, and took it to my master. The bundle contained two shawls, and the crape that I had missed. Q. You got him home - A. Yes, and I went for a constable, and gave him in charge.
