JOHN BASTABLE . I am a butcher , and live in Long-lane . On the 11th of November , the prisoner came into my shop, about four o'clock, and bought a sheep's heart, which came to 3d., and paid me a bad shilling - I gave her a 6d. and 3d.; on her going out, I sounded the shilling - my son-in-law said it was bad, and fetched her back; my daughter searched her - I gave the shilling to Todd.
