ELIZABETH BAILEY was indicted for stealing, on the 1st of March, at St. Marylebone, 2 cloaks, value 8l., the goods of Letitia Miller in the dwelling-house of William George. LETITIA MILLER . I am a widow, and live in Castle-street, in the house of William George, in the parish of St. Marylebone. I occupy the second and third floors—on the 1st of March about half-past six o'clock I was going out of one room into another, and saw a woman pass me on the landing of the second floor—I said, "What do you want?"—she made no answer—I repeated my question several times, and followed her down—we have two doors, she slammed one against me, and went out—I ran and called her back—but I fainted away, and do not know any thing more—I had missed two cloaks from the work-room at the top of the house—I had seen them safe, hanging up, about five o'clock—if finished they would be worth 12l. or 13l. I should say they were worth 8l. GEORGE DENHAM . I am turn cock to the West Middlesex Water-works.
