 went into the granary which communicates with the lumber room, there is a door way between them but no door, and no other way into the granary but through the lumber room—in that room found another frame or mould similar to that in the lumber room, only that it had very little wire on—witness has that, and has had possession of it ever since; they also found in the granary two tubs with water and pulp in them, the pulp in a proper state for making paper, it was so light as to make it scarcely possible to catch a bit with the hand—witness has kept this ever since, and it has been watered occasionally to keep it, as it loses colour by keeping without water; they next found a wood machine with bristles in, called a hog, some white linen, alum, calves-ears, and dried skins for size, small pieces of wire, flat, similar to that in the frame, in waved lines, and a sheet or piece of wove wire with paper pulp upon it. On the 17th they searched again, and then found a copper frame in the granary, some flat wire, three boards, and some linen rags—he saw the rags, alum, and calves-ears, on the 16th, but they remained there until the 17th; the door was locked, that is, the staple which had been forced out was put in again, and they found the things in the same state on the Tuesday as they left them on the Monday. Witness left Clay and Chillingworth to take care of the house; on Tuesday the 17th they found in a bureau in the parlour some balls of printing ink, they were given to Baker—witness took them out of the bureau and gave them to Baker; on the 19th again searched the granary, but he does not recollect that any thing was then found there—the frame was found in the granary on the 17th, he did not see it on the 16th, it hung against the wall. [The tub with the pulp in it, and the hog, were produced in Court, together with a large sheet of fine wire, which had some pulp upon it.]—They were identified by the witness, who stated that the wire was not upon the hog when found, but was laid by the side of the tub.

Joseph Chillingworth assisted in searching prisoner's house on the 16th of March last, and the eight ensuing days; he entered it by a ladder through a window in the attic story or garret—in going up the ladder he saw the prisoner in the room or chamber over the garret, witness was then in front of the house, he saw no one but prisoner in that room; when he first saw prisoner, he (prisoner) came up
