the morning, I found my warehouse broke open, and missed a great many oranges; Elizabeth Robinson owned, that one Catharine Cox broke the warehouse door open, and that they stole 104 oranges, and that Cox delivered them to her. I believe Davis is not guilty of the felony, but was only concerned in selling of them.

James Eves (servant to Mr. Kender) said, that Robinson owned, that she was concerned with one Catharine Cox (who was discharged) in breaking open the warehouse. Robinson guilty, 10 d. Davis acquitted .
