Susanna Church < no role > depos'd, That the Prisoner lodged at her House, and the Night after the Prosecutor was robb'd, she offer'd her a French Crown to change; but she telling her it would not go for a Crown, the Prisoner pull'd out a Half Guinea, and changing it, paid this Deponent four Shillings she owed her; and that Night a Quarrel happening between the Prisoner, her Sister, and one Philip Hawkins < no role > , at her House, this Deponent turn'd 'em all out of Doors.

The Fact appearing plain upon her, she having bought new Cloaths, and consum'd a great deal of Money in that little Interval of Time from the Country Man's being robb'd, to her being taken up: The Jury found her Guilty .
