After selling the skirt he went with a corporal to the Coach and Horses in to try to enlist into the Royal Marines. Whilst there he went back to the back part of the house, and the landlord, Mr McFarlane, being suspicious, watched him, and caught him coming out of a passage joining the public house with a bundle under his arm. Mr MacFarlane at once took him into the police station, and the bundle was found to contain a piece of harding and a sheet, which were a short time previously in a room behind the back kitchen of the Coach and Horses. Prisoner stated that he was a Bradford man. The Bradford police did not know anything against him. The magistrates now sent him to prison for one month, with hard labour.
