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.

. I was Mrs. Birch's servant in the time of her absence. The prisoner being an acquaintance of mine, and coming out of her place, I gave her leave to come and lie with me; all the things mentioned were in the house at the time she came; and after that they were all missing: I did not see the prisoner take them: I heard the prisoner confess she took and pawned them.

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.
