: On the 17th of March, the prisoner came and offered herself as a kitchen maid; we did not want a servant at that time; she said she wanted something to eat; in the mean time, the cook was going to give her something to eat, she stole these two spoons.

- GOSS sworn. - I live with Mr. Pattmore on Ludgate-hill: On the 17th of March, the prisoner came and offered two spoons, and from their being engraved the Swan and Two Necks, Lad-lane, it gave me a suspicion that she did not come honestly by them. When I interrogated her whose property they were, she said she was sent by Miss Bolton, who lived at the Swan and Two Necks; I detained her until I sent there; they immediately came and said that she stole them.
