On Saturday night, at about eight, he missed a pound of sausages from his stall. In consequence of what he was told he sent for s policeman, and charged prisoner with the theft. The accused pulled a pound cf sausages from under his stall cloth, and put them back in witness's stall, saying: " I did it for lark."

He had never had a joke with him.—Evidence-continued: The prisoner had a joke with some lamb some time ago. He pald for that. —The prisoner: He knew it was a joke, which I am sorry for now.
