That on the Friday Night before he was taken, he got over the Pales, forc'd a Shutter open, enter'd the House, (being then alone) and took a pair of Tongs, a Frying-pan, a Stue-pan, a Shovel, and a Poker, all which he carry'd away; and presently return'd with a lighted Candle (for before he was in the Dark) and took the Bed-Curtains, one pair of Sheets, 2 Table cloths, a Furbelo'd Scarf, and a Silk Petticoat: All this he did the first Night. On the next, which was the Saturday Night, he went in again alone, and took a Quilt and another Bed-Curtain, with 3 Blankets; which was all he took that Night.
