; the prisoner worked for me almost three years, I take in washing. On the 25th of August I missed a shift, on the 1st of September I lost an apron; I went to a pawnbroker's near the prisoner's house, I asked for a shift and apron pledged in her name; the pawnbroker refused producing them without the prisoner herself was there; then I went for an officer. After that we found an apron, not that which I had then missed; I went and fetched the prisoner from my house to the pawnbroker's, then the pawnbroker found four handkerchiefs; I found the stockings at the prisoner's house; she would not own to the other two aprons.</p>
