On the 8th of May, between four and five o'clock, the prisoner came up into my room. She goes out a washing. Afterwards she sat down by the fire, and fell asleep, as I thought. I was not very well: I pulled-off my gown, and laid it on the foot of the bed, and laid down myself. I did not sleep long: when I waked, I missed the prisoner and the gown. I went to the pawnbroker's, and found my gown at Mr. Lane's in Drury-lane. I found the prisoner at a public-house in Russel-street.

About the latter end of February, or the beginning of March, I called upon an acquaintance; this young woman was there. She said, while I was out of place, I was welcome to stay with her, and was welcome to any thing she had. She had taken some things from me: she directed me to pawn it for a few shillings.
