He works for Mr Edward Burr of Dunstable and lives next door to Thomas Anderson's Beer House. The previous day between 3 and 4am he heard a great noise as if someone was breaking into his house. He looked out fo the window and saw John Ironmonger and Daniel Cook putting something down into the beer cellar at Anderson's house. The beer dray was standing close to the cellar window. He heard the cellar window shut and the dray leave. The next morning he gave information to Mr Guille of what he had seen.
