Did St. Augustine, as a priest, listen to people's confessions of sin?

Today, in some Christian churches, there is the practice of confession .
The penitent – person who feels remorse for sins – goes to a priest, to whom one confesses one's sins, and the priest might possibly grant absolution, that is forgiveness of sins.
Was that something *St. Augustine of Hippo*, was doing/practicing himself as a priest (aka listen to other people's confessions, and also confess his sins)?
I'd appreciate some evidence, citing why this would be **or** not be the case.
