; on the 13th of August, about seven in the evening, I was in the shop, and the prisoner came in and asked to look at some muslin; I was busy with a lady at that time; I took the muslin down and shewed her; she asked the price, and I told her; she said it was too dear; I said we had nothing cheaper; she then <rs type="persName" id="t17900915-11-person175"> <interp inst="t17900915-11-person175" type="role" value=""></interp>

a piece of muslin from under the piece she was looking at; I saw her do it; she said it was too dear, and left the shop; I followed her, and took her about forty yards from the door; she asked me what I wanted; I said she must come back; she made some resistance, but I brought her back, and she threw the muslin into the shop; the muslin is here; (produced) I can swear to the muslin; here is R. D. on it, in Mr. Parker's hand writing.</p>
<p>Mr. Parker. I know this to be my property, by my own mark.</p>
<p>PRISONER's DEFENCE.</p>
<p>I know nothing about it; I did not take it; I was not from the shop door; she sent for a constable; I have two young children, and they have no father living; I have not seen my children since I came to gaol.</p>
<p>Prosecutor. There were some people here to give her a character last night.</p>
