Actual Text:	676. JOHN CLARKE, stealing 1 handkerchief, value 5<i>s </i>.; the goods of William Shepherd, from his person. WILLIAM SHEPHERD. I am a grocer, of Whitechapel. On 20th May I was on Tower-hill, looking at some pensioners being drilled— Nash spoke to me—I put my hand in my pocket and missed my handkerchief, which I had in my pocket not a minute before. RICHARD WEDD NASH. I am a carman, living at No. 4, Old George-street, Bermondsey. I was on Tower-hill with my horse and cart, and saw the prisoner, who I knew, having often seen him before, take a white pocket handkerchief out of Mr. Shepherd's pocket and pass it to another man—I told Mr. Shepherd, followed the prisoner, and pointed him out to a policeman—I am sure he is the man—since then I met the man who took the handkerchief; he saw me, and ran away. JOSEPH BRAY (<i>policeman, H </i> 49). I took the prisoner, who was pointed out to me by Nash —he said Nash was a false-swearing man, it was not him at all—I have known the prisoner for eight or nine years in that neighbourhood. GUILTY. Aged 27. <i>It was stated by George Chitsey, an officer of Bridewell, that the prisoner had been under his charge for picking pockets nineteen times since </i> 1840, <i>besides once for assaulting the police. </i> <i>Transported for Ten Years. </i>
