HARRIET DAVIS < no role > . I live with my aunt. On the 25th of September I served the prisoner and another with a quartern of gin, when the prisoner went out I thought I heard the measure and the glass jingle in her pocket. I went to see if it was in the tap room, it was gone. I went out and told the prisoner that she had the glass and measure, she said she had not got it. I went to pull her in doors, she offered me the glass, I refused it, then she took out the measure and threw it down and the glass after that.
