; she lived with me six months. My wife missed some of my shirts, and suspecting the prisoner, while she was out, we searched the kitchen, and found a shirt behind a box, upon which we searched her bed-room, and missed the sheets and pillows off the bed. When she returned, I got a constable, and charged her with stealing the things, and asked what she had done with them. She owned that she had pawned a silk gown, a sheet, and a shirt. I found them, by her direction, at the pawnbroker's.

My master owned me money. I could not get any money of him. My mistress gave me leave to pawn them till he paid me; then she said I might redeem them.

To Pinchbeck. Do you know whether your wife ever gave her leave to pawn them? Did you ever hear her say she gave her leave to pawn them? - No; she was very much surprised when she found it out.
