37. Thomas Madringham proceedingsdefend , of St. Mary le Strand , for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen .

Ann Hubert < no role > . I live in Bridges-street, Covent-Garden . - My husband is abroad, I missed these things, Nov. 9. The Prisoner was my servant ; she had been with me ten days, and then robbed me of these things; I got a warrant, and she was taken up the 10th of November, and then she confessed the having them, or I could never have found them, she said she had them all, and that they were not made away with. - I have had them all again, except a few trifles, which are of no value at all. Mr. Gray the constable went in search after them, and brought them to me at Sir Thomas Deveil < no role > 's. She was a very honest person, as I thought.

James Gray < no role > . I had a warrant the 10th of November, to take up the woman prisoner, who was servant to Mrs. Hubert; she lodged in Long-acre, at a Figure-maker's; she confessed the fact, and said, if I would go along with her, she would deliver liver all the things to me, from under a floor in a two pair of stairs room in Swan-yard in the Strand, where Thomas Madringham < no role > lodged. I went there, and she went into a closet, and pulled out these things, and gave them to me, and I carried them to Sir Thomas Deveil < no role > 's. - Madringham said his wife gave them to him, but he did not say how she came by them; he was not at home all that night, and came home at six o'clock in the morning with a candle in his hand.

Jane Watkins < no role > Guilty, 39 s.
