Mary Sullivan < no role > This name instance is in set 4485. owned she had the Ring, and Eaton was with her; the Gentleman came when sober and described Sullivan , and I went in search of her, and found her at a Brandy shop in Shugg-Lane , charged her with the Ring, and told her that the Gentleman was at our House, and she own'd she had it, and promised to bring it in a Quarter of an Hour, but never came.

Henry Crew < no role > thus depos'd, Last Saturday night, as I was going from Leicester-Fields towards Bolton-Street, a Woman met me, and she begged of me to give her a Glass of Wine, and then turning about, she walked close by me, and asking me again for a Glass of Wine, we agreed to go to the Crown Tavern in Sherrard-Street , and there an old Man lighted us up Stairs; I called for a Pint of Wine, which was brought, but before we had drank it, Mary Sullivan < no role > This name instance is in set 4485. comes up, and says to the Woman, hussy, what do you do here? get you gone, and then the Woman went away, and Sullivan stayed; when that Pint was out I call'd for another, and Sullivan went and fetched it her self, and while she was gone for the last Pint, I felt in my Pocket, and had my Money; after she had brought up the Wine, we had a little Conversation, and she fell to playing at 'my Cod-piece, and the second time I thought I heard my Money chink; and I ask'd her, If she was Mistress of the House? she said she was, instead of a better; then I told her she had got my Money, upon that she swore G - D - you, pay your Reckoning, and get you out of the House; but I could not pay my reckoning then, for she had got my Money ; I call'd for Pen and Ink, they said they had none in the House; then I went and called a Watchman, and being in a hurry, charged him with the House, instead of the Prisoner; then I went to St. James's Round-House to get a Constable, but there were none to be found till after the House was shut up, so I went the next Morning, and was told by Eaton, that if I came some time in the Evening, I might chance to see her; Anne Cragg < no role > was the Woman that first pick'd me up, but I never so much as touched her Hand, so I took out a Warrant against Eaton and Sullivan, but will not be positive that the Prisoner at the Bar, Sullivan, is the Woman, her dress hath made such an Alteration.

Swiney (the old Fellow, that conducted them up Stairs) thus depos'd, The Prosecutor came in with Nan Crago < no role > , and she has the Character of Whore and Thief, and she was there in Company till she had drank part of the second Pint of Wine, and then Cragg came down, and smoked a Pipe in the Kitchen, but I do believe Cragg, (who is since run away) had the Money.

Mary West < no role > thus depos'd, I was Servant there, but knew nothing of the taking the Money, only see it shar'd between Anne Cragg < no role > , Mary Sullivan < no role > , and Isabella Eaton, they shar'd the two Guineas amongst them, allowing for the two Pints of Wine; before the Money was shar'd, Cragg made a great Noise, and said she would not leave the House till she had her Part. Being asked (by the Court) how they shar'd the Money? she reply'd, when Money was taken - asked, how taken? - she answer'd, pick'd out of Gentlemen's Pockets, she had seen them share ten Guineas of a Night on that Account.

Mary Phillips < no role > , alias Harvey depos'd, That West was a Thief, and made a long harangue about two Plates, and of her having Money for being an Evidence against the Prisoners; the Jury acquitted the Prisoners of both the Indictments.
