I am servant to Mr. Gowers, he has a place under the Lord Chancellor, and cannot attend. On the 20th of this month, the prisoner came into my master's shop, she enquired for a taylor, and stopped about three minutes; and I saw my master take the bottle of mushrooms from under her cloak; she did not buy any thing; I know them to be my master's property by the cement on the bottle: she said, she did not know how they came under her cloak.
