John Turner . I had suspicion of loosing linen out of my house, upon which I charged an officer with my servant, Lucy May ; after which there were some things found, but I cannot positively swear to them, there being no marks upon them.
Robert Needham . I am a pawnbroker; the prisoner Parish pledged these things with me; (producing linen as mentioned in the indictment) she said they were her own.
Both Acquitted .
