Mr. Miles. The prisoner lived with one Mr. Reyner, in Hoxton town; Mary Hall lives with me; she said there was some body frequented the house that was not honest; we could not tell who to suspect; there was a cloak of Mary Hall's missing; we went over to the prisoner's mistress, and desired she would look over the prisoner's things; she did, and came and brought an apron; after that we made farther enquiry; there were after that two pair of sleeves; then the prisoner being taken up, and charged with taking these things, she confessed she had sent one Anne Allen to pawn several things at Mr. Cox's, a petticoat, two handkerchiefs and an apron.
Mary Hall. I live with Mr. Miles, I lost a petticoat and two linen aprons; one of the aprons and petticoat were found at the pawnbroker's, (produced in court and deposed to;) the prisoner told me she had sent them there. I lost them some time in May last, and found them the 12th of August; we lost many things five months ago; the prisoner owned she had taken a good many things, but could not tell the number of them; the other things belong to people that are out of their minds under my master's care.
Prisoner. I hope the court will be as favourable as possible.
