Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 21 February 2020), February 1831, trial of SARAH CLARK (t18310217-103). SARAH CLARK, Theft > housebreaking, 17th February 1831. OLD COURT. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19. Fourth Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Sergeant Arabin. 528. SARAH CLARK was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of John Beal , on the 21st of January , and stealing, 1 waistcoat-piece, value 2s. 9d.; 3 shirts, value 15s.; 3 handkerchiefs, value 6s.; 1 pair of sheets, value 5s.; 2 curtains, value 4s.; 2 pairs of stockings, value 3s.; 1 gold ring, value 7s., and 1 pair of earrings, value 7s., his property . JOHN BEAL. I lodge in Whitecross-place, Wilson-street, Finsbury , on the first floor. The prisoner is landlady of the house , and lived there - on the 22nd of January, at seven o'clock in the morning, I went out, leaving this property in my room; I locked the door - I returned about half-past eight in the evening, and found the door open - my son had got the key, and my daughter was in the room; I missed a great many articles which I had left safe - the prisoner's husband lived in the house with her. MARTHA BEAL . I am the prosecutor's daughter, but do not live at this house. On Saturday, the 22nd of January, about ten o'clock, or a little after, I asked my father for a waistcoat-piece from the drawer, and it was missing - when I went to the room that evening, I found my brother at home; I missed nothing else myself - I do not know whether the prisoner was at home; I found some property pawned at Attenborough's, on Monday morning, and when the prisoner was at Worship-street after I had found the property, I asked her what she had done with the duplicates; she said if I went home to the back kitchen, in the dust-hole I should see an old garden-pot, and under the pot should find the duplicates - I went and found ten duplicates, with a key which fitted the room door; I gave them to the officer. JAMES BEAL. I live with my father. I was at home all day on the 22nd of January - I went out the day before, about half-past three o'clock, leaving the prisoner at home, and when I came in at half-past five I found the staple of the padlock drawn; I went into the room, but missed nothing - I told my father when he came home,but he did not take much notice; this was on Friday -I met the prisoner in the court as I came home. THOMAS VANN . I am an officer. On Tuesday, the 25th of January, I was sent for, and went with Martha Beal to Attenborough's; I went to the house, and received the prisoner in charge - she said something at the office to Martha Beal , who went and got the duplicates and key, which I found opened the door. GEORGE JOHN MOULTON. I am shopman to Mr. Attenborough, of Crown-street, Finsbury. I produce two curtains, one sheet, three shirts, and two pairs of stockings; I received the stockings in pawn myself from the prisoner - the other things were pawned in the same name; I did not take them in - the duplicates correspond with those on the articles, and are the counterparts. JOHN BEAL. These are my property, and were in my drawers; I missed them on Saturday, but some were taken before the others, for what I know - I never allowed her to pawn my property. The prisoner put in a written Defence, stating that she had been in the habit of borrowing articles of the prosecutor to pledge, and intended to redeem them - that the prosecutor's son was an abandoned character, and must have taken the padlock off himself to screen his own delinquencies.
