Robert Mason ( City Police constable No. 91). I know the prisoner by sight - I saw him on the 1st of April. about twenty minutes after four o'clock, walking behind this gentleman - I watched him, and saw him draw a red coloured silk handkerchief from the gentleman's pocket. and he gave it to another person - I could not get across in time enough to take them both, but I took the prisoner, as the prosecutor was talking to him.

Prisoner. When you came up, you asked the prosecutor what he had lost?

Witness; No, I said directly, that I saw you draw the handkerchief

The prisoner put in a written defence, declaring his innocence

Guilty.  Aged 17 - Transported for seven years.'
