Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 23 April 2021), October 1822, trial of ELIZABETH CANNON (t18221023-29). ELIZABETH CANNON, Theft > shoplifting, 23rd October 1822. 1516. ELIZABETH CANNON was indicted for stealing, on the 8th of October , one shawl, value 36 s., the goods of Joseph Morris , privately in his shop . EDWARD HANDLEY . I am shopman to Joseph Morris , a linen draper , of Fleet-market , in the parish of St. Bride. On the 8th of October, about eleven o'clock in the morning, the prisoner came into the shop alone, and asked to see some shawls. I shewed her twenty or thirty, but she bought none. I left seven on the counter - she stood looking at them while I went to the other end of the shop, and on returning I found there was only six. Nobody else was at the counter. I was absent about a minute. On my return, she said she would mention the price to a person, and would call again - she was going out as I was counting the shawls, and missing one, I followed her immediately, and overtook her about ten yards off; I brought her back, and she dropped it at the door, inside the shop. I did not see it fall from her - she had a large cloak on. Nobody could have dropped it but her; she denied touching it. She had only 11 1/2 d. on her. DANIEL TURNER . I am a constable. I found 11 1/2 d. on her. (Property produced and sworn to.) Prisoner's Defence. I never saw it. GUILTY . Aged 41. Transported for Seven Years . London Jury, before Mr. Recorder.
