Mary Ormand < no role > . I live in Great Ailoff street, opposite the new meeting house . On the 25th of July last my house was broke open about one in the morning as near as I can find. I advertised the things lost on the 26th and 27th, but could not hear of them till the 10th of Nov. then a man came to my house, and asked me if I was not robbed such a time; I said I was; he said, we have taken three of the thieves, and if you come to Bridewell you'll hear more of the matter.

Q. What goods did you lose?

M. Ormand. I lost eight pewter plates, &c. ( mentioning each thing as in the indictment.) The next morning I went to Bridewell; I was bid to ask for Forrester, otherwise Hatton, and they brought me to the next evidence, who can give a better account of the taking them than I can.

Q. What goods were they you had?

Hatton. There were a copper pot , two saucepans, one brass pot, some dishes, and a great cover to cover meat with; we carried them home, and when we came back, they had got a bag full of things, they had linen, a great coat, and a looking glass; we sold our's to one Campey, a Jew, for 12 shillings; he lives in Duke's Place.

Q. from Tidd. Was I by when the window was broke open?

Hatton. Yes, you was; Tidd had three shillings, and so had I.

Henry Peal. I heard Tidd confess before the justice he had a hand in breaking open this house, and that he had a share of the 12 shillings.

Thomas Hind < no role > . I was before justice Fielding, when Tidd was there; the boy Hatton was telling the justice in what manner it was done; Tidd told the boy he lyed in saying he broke it open, and said, when he came first to the house, it was fast; but when he came the second time it was broke open, and that they sold the goods to Minous, a Jew, for 12 shillings; he also d - d the justice, and said he was as big a thief as himself.

Woodward Harlow. I was with Tidd before the justice. He confirmed the testimony of Hind.

Isabella Collier deposed, the window was fast when they went to bed, and that the things were gone when they got up at two o'clock.

Q. to the Prosecutrix. How came you to get up?

M. Ormand. We heard a noise of the pewter rattling, and the dog barked, so we got up, and we found the shutter was ripp'd from the hinges, and taken down, and the sash shoved up. I hear the Jew is in the New Goal, Surry.

Tidd's Defence.

I know nothing of it.

Bourne. I don't know that boy (meaning Hatton) from Adam. See No. 16, in Sir Samuel Pennant < no role > 's Mayoralty.
