<p>She then call'd several Witnesses, to prove that the Goods mention'd in the Indictment were her's, and that the Prisoners at the Bar had them without her Consent; but their Depositions not concurring with each other, they had no other Effect than to prove that the Whole was a misterious Labyrinth, and that both the Prisoners and the Prosecutor were a contentious malicious People.
