Anne Priggs < no role > . I keep a pawnbroker's shop in Spital-fields : the prisoner lived with me about five months. She went away about five weeks ago; I missed some of the things mentioned before she went away, and some after: the people where she went to live, sent me word she was always spending a good deal of money. I went to her, and upon asking her how she came by the money she spent? she said a little girl had given it her: then I wanted to know what she had done with my shirt and a waistcoat, which I had miss'd; she said she knew nothing of them. I brought her to my house; there she told me she had pawned them for Half a Crown, to one Mr. Woodyer. I went there the next morning, and found them and the other things; ( produced and deposed to).

Mary Woodyer < no role > . I am a pawnbroker. The prisoner at the bar pawn'd these things to me, on the 1st of November, and the rest afterwards, in the name of Mary Power < no role > .
