The prisoner came to my house, and ordered some purl to go to a customer, and desired me to let her have it in a half gallon pot, I asked if the half gallon pot was in the way, it was not, and she took it out with her in a quart and a pint, and paid eight-pence for it.

I saw the prisoner stand in Church-yard alley near the chapel door, I saw her stoop down and throw the liquor away: she was taken near Nevil's-court, she had the pots then, a quart pot under her right arm, and a pint under her left.
