  Mary Bampford was indicted for breaking the Houses of one   Robert Metcalfe , one   Senses Parsons , and one   Elizabeth Gamball , of  Stepney Parish , on the 3d of October last: Metcalfe's Lock was shot back, and a Kettle was found in the Prisoner's House, which Metcalfe owned; but no positive proof was found that she took the Kettle, so she was acquitted of the first Indictment. Gamball swore that she found a Rug, a Blanket, and a Pillow of hers in the Prisoner's House, and other Goods which she had lost, and the Prisoner's Key would unlock the said Gamball's Door as well as her own; she was found guilty of Felony only . Parsons said the Door was shut on the over-night, and in the morning it was open, and the Lock broke, and the Goods taken away, which were 24 pair of Stokins, and 42 Skeins of Yarn and Worsted; the Stockins were found in the Prisoner's Apron by the Watch as she was going home with them; She was found guilty of Felony and Burglary.
