Convict Notes
166. ELIZA CHAMBERS was indicted for stealing, on the 26th of December , thirty yards of ribbon, value 7 s. , the goods of Clarkson Palmer . DAVID DAVIES . I am servant to Mr. Clarkson Palmer, an haberdasher , who lives at London Bridge . On the 26th of December, between six and seven o'clock in the evening the prisoner came to the shop, and asked to look at some ribbon. I shewed her a drawer of ribbon. She concealed one piece in her pocket, and asked for some narrower than the others - I showed her some more, and saw her take another piece out of that drawer, and put it into her pocket - she bought one yard of twopenny ribbon. I asked her to step back into the warehouse, as I wanted to speak to her. She immediately ran out, I pursued, and brought her back. I sent for an officer, who searched her, but could not find them - they were found on the ground near the spot where I took her. I saw her conceal them - another woman stood close to her, but did not appear concerned with her - she remained in the shop, and bought some goods. HENRY MURRAY. I am shopman to Mr. Palmer. I saw the ribbon found in the road, at the spot where I saw Davies scuffling with the prisoner. (Property produced and sworn to.) Prisoner's Defence.
