Elizabeth Parsons proceedingsdefend , and Godfrey Buckley proceedingsdefend , of St. Margaret's Westminster , were indicted, for that Elizabeth Parsons, together with Joseph Kemp < no role > , and John Knap < no role > , did break the Dwelling-House of Mrs. Mary Paget proceedingsvictim , the 19th of March last in the Night-time, and stealing thence divers Pieces of Silver, Plate, and other Goods ; and Godfrey Buckley < no role > as an Accessary before the Fact, in inticing, procuring, aiding and abetting, and also for receiving the Goods, knowing them to be stolen . Robert Philips < no role > depos'd, that he dwelt in Mrs. Paget's House, she being committed to the Care of his Wife; that he did not that Night lye at Home, some Company being there that Night; but lying hard by, he was called up by a Washerwoman so early in the Morning, that he could not say whether it was Break of Day or not; but about Three of the Clock being inform'd that Mrs. Paget's House was broke open, he went immediately and found all the Doors open; and did fear his Wife and Mrs. Paget, and all in the House had been murthered, there being no Man in the House; that when he came in, he called out aloud to his Wife, Are you alive? that she answering, he went up Stairs, found several Doors broke open, Cabinets, Buroes, &c. and divers Goods missing. Susannah Philips < no role > depos'd, that in the Night-Time she heard a great Knocking, and other Noises, as of something falling, drawing out of Drawers, and heard a Man cough in the Dining-Room; but was afraid to take any Notice, or call out, the House being a Lone - House, and looking into the Park backwards, and inclosed with a Wall and Court-Yard forwards, so that she could not expect to be heard. She added, that about three Nights before she going to the Gate, was surpriz'd to see three Men at it, who went away at her coming out, locking the Gate after her; but one of the Men, (whom she verily believes to be the Prisoner,) came back and ask'd, Whether one Mr. Paget did not live there. John Knap < no role > depos'd, that George Buckley < no role > , and Joseph Kemp < no role > , inticed him to go with them, and took him up to Westminster; that going along they saw a Gentleman in Liquor, and said there is a Booty, he bidding him, (this Evidence,) go knock him down, and Kemp riffle his Pockets. That afterwards he said to this Evidence, there is a House in such a Place and there is no Man in it; that they went to Mrs. Paget's House, he saying this is the House, mind your Business, and Godfrey did speak to Mrs. Philips as she had before depos'd, and this was three or four Nights before the Commission of the Fact. That three or four Nights after, Joseph Kemp < no role > and Elizabeth Parsons, alias Kemp < no role > , went to Mrs. Paget's House about Twelve a-Clock at Night, and they hoisted him, this Evidence, over the Wall to open the Gate; but he not being able to do it, Joseph Kemp < no role > standing on Elizabeth Parson < no role > 's Knees, got over, and cursing him for not opening it, did with an Iron Chissel so wrench the Staple back, that the Lock flew open, and then Mary Parsons came in. That then Kemp took down the Glass, bored the Shutters, and putting in his Hand took down an Iron Bar, so they all went in. That then Kemp taking a Pair of Pistols, they went all about the House, and broke open Cabinets or Buroes, took Plate and many other Things; that Elizabeth Parsons < no role > took two Pistols in her Hand, went up to the Chamber where the Gentlewomen lay, told him there was a great Booty, and bid him go in and Cut their Throats, and gave him a White-Handled Penknife for that Purpose, and told him if he did not do it, he should not have a Penny. That they were in the House about Two Hours; that the Goods were carried to Buckley's House, and Parsons she sold some and pawned others. That he, this Evidence, afterwards went down into the Country Eighty Miles, but being uneasy in his Mind, could not rest, continually dreaming of clambering over Walls, and the like; that thereupon he return'd to London, and discovered the Matter. Mr. Wyburn's Servant the Pawn-Broker, depos'd that Elizabeth Parsons < no role > had pawned some of the Goods there, and John Knap < no role > having given Notice of it, he had Orders from Justice Robe to stop Parsons when she came again, as he did. The Constable also depos'd, that John Knap < no role > made himself a voluntary Evidence. Upon a full Hearing of the Matter, Elizabeth Parsons < no role > , alias Kemp, passing for the Wife of Joseph Kemp < no role > , was acquitted , as not being accountable, as acting under the Direction, and in Company of her Husband Joseph Kemp < no role > ; and there not being any Evidence to corroborate that of John Knap < no role > , Godfrey Buckley < no role > was likewise acquitted .
