The boots were missed on the previous day, and the prosecutor . suspected the prisoner, who had repeatedly robbed him, of having stolen them. He declared that he was innocent at first but after some prevarication he said he had sold them for 3s., and spent the money.

Since the prisoner entered the prosecutor's employment in March last, he had stolen several sums of money and boots, for which he had been forgiven.
