was alarmed by seeing the said Jacks in the Kitchen about three
Quarter of an hour before which, she is very sure she saw a
silver Waiter belonging to her said Master upon the DresserThat
she asked said Jacks what he wanted there to which he answered
he had lost his knifeThat soon after said Jacks was gone she
