house to lodge as usual, I come sometimes once a week, and sometimes twice, about seven in the evening; they told me the person was gone to bed about three hours; when I went to bed which was about twelve o'clock, I went to bed to this person, the landlord made me lock the chamber door before I got into bed, I left the key within side the door, and pulled off my things; I went into bed to this person, and I went to sleep directly; in the morning I got up about five o'clock, and my breeches were in the place where I had put them, and my watch and my money were gone, and the prisoner was gone, and the door wide open.</p>
<p>Court. Are you sure that you locked the door? - Yes, and I left the key in the lock.</p>

<p>I am servant to Mr. Aldridge; I lost three caps, one muslin apron, one handkerchief, and three more handkerchiefs; these things were in the dining room, shut up in a chest; I lighted the prisoner to bed, which was in the dining room.</p>
<p>Court. What is the value of these things? - I cannot justly say.</p>
<p>What were these things in? - They were in two band boxes.</p>
<p>When did you miss these things? - I missed them in the morning between eight and nine.</p>
<p>Were any of these things found on the prisoner when she was taken? - No, my Lord.</p>
<p>You never heard of them? - No.</p>
<p>PRISONER's DEFENCE.</p>
<p>I know nothing of the house, I never was there in my life; they swore to me in brown cloaths; I came up but on Saturday from home from my friends, I ran away, and they took me with some more women; I have no other cloaths but these that were my brother's: and that person that stands there now, said, he knew nothing of my face at the Justices, but now I suppose he is come to swear against me. I have no witnesses, I have nobody but God and myself, I hope he will help me through it, notwithstanding all the false swearing in the world, I hope none of it will hurt me.</p>
