Deposition of William Selby of Beeston

30 September 1843

From: 1843 To: 1843

He was at the auction sale at the Highlands. When he returned home he met Samuel Coleman who asked him to return with him to help him load the goods he had bought at the sale. He did so and helped to put several articles into the cart. Near a bedstead which they put into the cart stood various tin goods he believes to be the articles now produced. John Dines was there helping to put the goods into the cart. Dines asked Coleman if the tin goods were his. Coleman said they were not. Dines replied “Well never mind we’ll have them at all events” and Dines then put them into the cart. He drove the cart to Coleman’s house. Soon afterwards Coleman told him in Dines’ presence that he should have left the plough and the tin articles at Dines’s shop which they had passed on the way. He took the horse out of the cart and took it home. He returned to Coleman’s and saw the tin articles in his house.
