THOMAS COLLS, Theft > grand larceny, 14th September 1814.
732. THOMAS COLLS was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the 11th of August, three yards of corderoy, value 6 s. 6 d. the property of James Milner.
WILLIAM BERCHER. I am a packer in the service of Mr. Milner the prisoner was a labourer there. On the 11th of August, I and Mr. Milner measured a piece of corderoy; it measured twenty-four yards. I marked the piece as measuring twenty-four yards. I left the warehouse in the evening at dark, and I left the prisoner there. The next morning, when I came to the warehouse again, I looked at the piece of corderoy; when I came to the end of the piece; I found it was deficient; I measured it then again; it measured but twenty-one yards instead of twenty-four. This is the piece of corderoy; it is cut, jagged with a knife.
JAMES MILNER. I am a packer in the Old Change. On receiving information from the last witness, I caused the prisoner to be apprehended. I sent for an officer; he came about ten o'clock. I went with the officer to the prisoner's lodgings in St. Martin's-le-grand; I there found the three yards of corderoy among other things. I matched the three yards of corderoy with the remainder of the piece in my warehouse; it matched exactly. This corderoy is my property. I am sure that piece was cut off the bigger piece.
Prisoner's Defence: I throw myself on the mercy of the court.
The prisoner called three witnesses, who gave him a good character.
GUILTY, aged 21.
Transported for Seven Years.
London jury, before Mr. Recorder.
