; 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.</p>
<p>(The things were produced in court, and deposed to by the prosecutor.)</p>

<p>I am servant to Mr. Murphy, a pawnbroker, in Oxford-Road. The things produced were pawned with me by the prisoner.

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
