HENRIETTA PENDRELL . I live in Grey's-buildings, Manchester-square , and keep a mangle - the prisoner Murray had been a lodger of mine, but I had not seen her for nine or ten years - on the 12th of July, she came into my front kitchen - I was in the back kitchen mangling - I did not hear her come down - there were six or seven bundles on the drawers in my front kitchen, and my daughter was there - she spoke to me at the back kitchen door, and said,"Mrs. Pendrell, I should not have known you" - she then walked up stairs - I thought she looked rather bulky - I then missed two bundles, containing this property - both the prisoners came in, but I only knew Murray. ELIZABETH COKELY . I am Pendrell's daughter. Murray came to our house between seven and eight o'clock - we had a great many bundles there - I afterwards missed two of them - the other prisoner came with Murray, and stood against the drawers where the bundles were - they remained a few minutes, and then went away - I did not observe any things about them. Cross-examined by MR. PHILLIPS. Q. Are you quite sure you saw the other young woman there? Q. Yes; I was in bed in the kitchen at the time - I was awake - I did not see Furmery do any thing - she was against the drawers' but when the door was open, I could not see the drawers - I did not speak to her. WILLIAM PETHEBRIDGE . I am a pawnbroker. I have a shawl, a table-cloth, a pinafore, and an apron, which I took in from Murray on the 12th of July, about eight o'clock in the morning - the other prisoner was with her, but I had no dealings with her. RICHARD GLOVER . I am a pawnbroker. I have three child's bed-gowns and a petticoat, pawned by Murray, on the 12th of July - I did not notice any body with her. ANDREW JOHNSON (police-constable D 108). The prisoners were given into my custody - I found two duplicates - one on each of them - and two duplicates were given at the station - in going along, they both went over some gratings, and I looked round, and found this duplicate, at Furmery's heel - I cannot say which dropped it. Cross-examined. Q. Were they not both on the grating at the same time? A. No; Murray was a little before - perhaps a yard - they had both been on it - I found the other duplicate down the grating. JAMES CLAPSON (police-constable D 153). I have two handkerchiefs, and two aprons - I took them off the prisoners. ANN HUNT . I am the wife of Thomas Hunt - Mrs. Pendrell mangles for me - these articles are mine; and this apron, which was found on Murray. MARY CROFT . I am the wife of Edward Croft - I employed Pendrell to mangle - these things are mine, and the apron which was found on Furmery - I lost twenty-six articles - here are only two aprons, and two handkerchiefs. JOHN LACY . I produce a certificate of the conviction of Murray, on the 20th of December, in the name of Mary Murray - I know she is the person (read). Murray's Defence. I was coming from Chelsea, and met this young woman - she had been in the Park all night - she said she was hungry - I told her to come to my mother, and I would give her something - we came to a coffee-stall, and I gave her coffee - she then asked me if I could take her backwards - I took her to Mrs. Pendrell's - she stood near the drawers, but I did not know that she had stolen any thing - when we came out, I saw her running with these two bundles - I came up to her, and said it was a person I knew very well, and it was a pity she took them; but I pawned them, and one is as bad as the other. WILLIAM WINCHAPLE . I am a cabinet-maker, and live in Drury-lane - I knew Furmery from her childhood - she had a good character - I will take her into my service. MURRAY - GUILTY .
