sworn. - I am the wife of John Unnice; the prisoner at the bar rented a two-pair of stairs ready-furnished room with us; I let her the lodging in August, 1804.

p

Q. Did you, at any time, miss any of your furniture out of the room? - A. She left the lodgings about the latter end of July; she gave no notice, but sent the rent weekly; I broke open the room, and found all the articles mentioned in the indictment were gone out of the room.
</
p

<
p
>
Q. Have you ever seen any of your property since? - A. Yes, the officer found them, they were pledged. (The property produced, and identified by the prosecutrix.)

Prisoner's defence. I did not go away from my lodgings, I have some property there at this time; my husband is gone to sea, he promised to send me some money; I hope you will shew me as much mercy as your Lordship can.
