; the ribband was taken out of my shop on the 10th of February, between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning, it was taken from my maid, I can swear to one of the pieces.</p>
<p>Q. When did you see the ribband last, before it was lost?</p>
<p>S. Young. It was in my shop that morning, my maid came and told me what had happened, I came down and found the prisoner (the ribbands had been taken from her) I asked her about them, she said she had taken them and would do so no more. (The ribband produced in court and deposed to.)</p>

. I am servant to the last witness, the prisoner and another woman came into my mistress's shop to buy a yard of ribband, the other woman bought a yard and the prisoner stole this; I saw her pocket it, she denied it, I said I would search her; she took it out of her pocket and put it upon the compter.</p>
<p>Q. Where was the ribband?</p>
<p>M. Blaney. It was in a drawer that stood upon the compter.</p>
<p>Q. When you charged her with taking the ribband what did she say?</p>
<p>M. Blaney. She said she was going to pay for the other ribband, and that she did not intend to take it; afterwards she said she would never do so any more, if we would let her go. I found several pieces dropt upon the ground from her go. I saw her put them in her pocket.</p>
<p>Prisoner's defence.</p>
<p>I came into her shop and bought a yard of ribband, I was going to buy some black, I had these black pieces in my hand, and going to give her the money they fell back upon my hand, and she said I was going to steal the ribband.</p>
<p>Q. to Blaney. Are you sure you saw her take up the ribband and put it in her pocket.</p>
<p>Blaney. I am sure I did.</p>
<p>For the prisoner.</p>
