 On his cross-examination, he said, he took his inventory or account of the articles at his own house, from the things themselves, which were sent there in a cart; he could not say that he kept the cart in his immediate view all the way from prisoners to Birmingham—it might be out of his sight at different turnings of the road.

On a question from his Lordship, Mr. Linwood said that, independent of his inventory, he was certain that every thing necessary for coining 3s. tokens (except the dies) were found in Booth's garret.
