. My husband's name is Thomas. The prisoner's husband took a lodging of me; I can't find him : They were at my house from April till about two months ago ; it was a one-pair of stairs room ; he was to give me 2 s. per week; it was furnish'd. The prisoner and her husband went to gather elder berries, and said they'd pay me on their return; the room was left lock'd up; I broke open the room-door, with a warrant, about a month after they were gone Every thing was gone except the chairs, table and bedstead ; I lost a brass sender, a copper stew-pan, one pair of sheets, a bolster, two pillows, two blankets, and four curtains; I went with a search warrant and search'd Mr. Pearcy's house, a pawnbroker, there I found the stew pan and brass sender, part of my curtains, one blanket, one quilt, two linen sheets. These goods produc'd in court and depos'd to.</p>
<p>Question from Prisoner. Was there not a woman that had my key to go in and out ?</p>
<p>M. Howard. None but her own daughter.</p>
<p>Prisoner. Did not you give me leave to make use of these things upon my giving you 10 s?</p>
<p>M Howard. No, indeed I did not.</p>

. I am a pawnbroker; the prisoner brought these things to me to pawn at several times, the first time was in April, the last in September.</p>
<p>Q. Did any body come with her?</p>
<p> <xptr type="pageFacsimile" doc="175212060003"></xptr>
Pearcy No, she came alone, and brought them as her property. These are the same goods that have been produc'd.</p>
<p>Prisoner's Defence.</p>
<p>The Prosecutrix gave me leave to pawn them upon my promising to pay her 10 s. but having a from a tree, could not bring the berries, or I had put them in their places again.</p>
