I took the prisoner up, and before justice Sydenham, she confessed having taken the things, and where they were: I went accordingly with a constable, and found the greatest part of them, and they are here in court.</p>

. I live with Mr. Warford a pawnbroker: [She produced two shirts, four handkerchiefs, a pair of treble ruffles, two aprons, a pair of woman's shoes, a pair of silk stockings, a pair of worsted stockings, and a pair of soist sleeves.] The prisoner brought these at several times, and pawned them at our house.</p>
<p>Q. to Venables. Did you give the prisoner these things.</p>
<p>Venables. No, I did not.</p>

<p>Venables told me I might lie there, when her master and mistress were out of town, while I was out of place. She gave me these things to pawn, and said she bought them.</p>
<p>Mrs. Birch. The prisoner did not charge Venables before the justice with giving her them.</p>
