The Information of
Nancy Pawsey< no role >
,
Henry Cowling< no role >
,
Samuel Griffin< no role >
Patrick Mc Manns< no role >
and
John Clark< no role >
,
taken before me this 21st. day of Febry 1783.
Who being on Oath say and first the said Nancy Pawsey< no role >
for herself
says that a Trunk, a pair of Shippers, a Silk Gown and Petticoat
and Handkerchiefs now produced, are her property; and does verily
believe that a remnant of Irich Cloth and a Towel now produced
are likewise her property. That on or about the 17th of December
last she sent the said Trunk containing the said Articles (with
many others) from Silver in Bedfordshire by Edwards's Waggon
to the Windmill Inn in Saint John Street
directed to this Informant
at No 5 in Great Newport Street
; and which said Trunk and
Contents she believes were Stolen. And the said Henry Cowling< no role >
Says that he is a Porter at the Windmill Inn that he received the
Trunk directed to Mrs. Pawsey in New port Street into his care
the Day on which it was brought by the Waggon, and which
Trunk (with other Goods) he put into a Cart in order to carry
it to Newport Street
. That whilst he was delivering a Hamper
in the Strand
near the New Church
, the said Trunk was Stolen
out of the Cart. And the said Samuel Griffin< no role >
says that he
stood by the Cart whilst the Hampor was delivering, during which
time a Man came up to this Informant and asked him which
was the Way to Queen Street
"to which Question this Informants
replied that he could not tell" and further says he is very
sure that a person now present who calls himself Hart.
Levy is the same Prison who asked him the Way to
Queen Street
as aforesaid. And the said Patrick Mc Manus< no role >
says that the Trunk now produced he found in a Five pair
of Stairs Room in a House in a Court in Middle Row Holborn,
occupied (as he is informed) by Hart Levy< no role >
now present, and in
which Room several Articles of Wearing Apparell (since claimed
by said Levy as his property) he found at the same time.
