There was a mixture of two varieties of peas called, "Old Maples" and "horn grey". He traced hoof marks to the gate of Jn. Simkins; then in consequence of information from Edw. Irons he followed Thos. Carter, who was riding an ass. He eventually stopped and searched him and found amongst other things, a bucket of peas, which, after comparing with his own, he believes were the ones which were stolen. Carter's shoes agreed with the impressions left near the barn.
