Police court 26th March 1866 Arthur Taylor being duly sworn on oath deposeth and saith I have heard my information dated the 14th inst, read it is true. I now produce in Court the bag, it does not contain any rags , it contains some small pieces of silk they are identical pieces I found in the bag and are similar to those I produced in Court and which I found in the fern in the house. I found the bag in the house where the prisoner lived with some others. I was present when the prisoner made a statement for Constable Wilmer that he had found the pieces of silk outside a blacksmith shop. (Signed) Arthur Taylor
