, my husband died on the 12th of June last; I engaged the prisoner to nurse me in my lying-in, she stopped with me two days, and then she went away on the second night without speaking a word to me.</p>
<p>Q. What did you miss? - A. I missed a blanket and some duplicates, I cannot tell how many; when I went up into her room, she was burning of them; the blanket I took from the prisoner's bed; I took as many of the duplicates from off the fire as were not burned.</p>
<p>Q. When did you go to her room? - A The day after I was churched; she lodged in Butcher-row, she said she had bought the blanket of a woman.</p>
<p>Q. Did she mention the woman's name? - A. No; I told her if she would bring the woman to me, I should like to know how it came out of my house.</p>
