She lived with her Parents, and did not go to Service,but came up to London , where she soon became a good Proficient in the tricking Arts of the Town, as now she hath found to her sad Experience.

About 2 Years, or 2 Years and half, she was Transported, for picking the Pocket of a Gentlewoman in St. Paul's Church Yard , at the Feast of the Sons of the Clergy; for which Fact she was tried at the Old Bailey , and was ordered to be Transported; but she had not been gone long, before she and her supposed Spouse returned to London , where she has been a constant Practitioner ever since.

The Man having made his Escape, Young and Davis were carried to Devonshire Square , and several other Places in the City, in order to carry them before a Justice, not finding one in the Way, they came back to the Old Bailey , where the Court was fitting, they was brought before my Lord Mayor, who was pleased to commit them It is observable of them, viz Mary Young< no role > and Elizabeth Davis< no role > , that the Robbery was committed, and they sent to Newgate on Saturday the 17th of Jan and on Monday the 19th , a Bill of Indictment was found against them, and on Tuesday the 20th , they were tried, capitally convicted, and receiv'd Sentence of Death. Mary Young< no role > behaved well while under Sentence, and was very devout to all outward Appearance, often crying at Prayers, and singing of Psalms. She declared that Elizabeth Davis< no role > had no Hand in the Robbery which she suffered for, and that she wou'd persuade the World (if possible) that she was not the Woman, that she was represented to be; but had always lived a sober Life, (if you believe her) but she could not deny the robbing of Judith Gardener< no role > , on the 17th of Jan last, and that she was Transported by the Name of Jane Web< no role > , in April Sessions 1738.
