. I saw the prisoner take a white quilted petticoat off a post at the door, put it into her apron, and walk unconcernedly along, as if she was going about her business - I let her go because I was afraid of bringing myself into trouble. On New years day I saw the prisoner in the street, upon that I went to Mrs. Abbott, and told her of it, Mrs. Abbott called her over the way to her, and she went very readily. Mrs. Abbott asked her if she did not take such a petticoat, she said she did not know any thing of it, and run away. I stopped her, and she said we could not detain her without a constable.
