Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 01 July 2021), July 1821, trial of CATHERINE FLANNAGAN MARY HART (t18210718-37). CATHERINE FLANNAGAN, MARY HART, Theft > grand larceny, 18th July 1821. 945. CATHERINE FLANNAGAN and MARY HART were indicted for stealing, on the 10th of July , at St. Giles, without Cripplegate , fifty-eight yards of lace, value 9 l. , the goods of Joseph Todd , James Morrison , and John Edward Todd . SECOND COUNT. Stating it to be in the dwelling-house of James Morrison only. MR. PLATT conducted the prosecution. HARRIET WATSON . I am shopwoman to Messrs. James Morrison , and John Edward Todd . I know no other partners. I know the prisoners - they came into the shop, which is at No. 105, Fore-street, Cripplegate . Flannagan asked for some Persian, and bought some - I am sure they were together. I cut half a yard, which came to 10 d. She then asked to see some lace. I fetched a box from the top of the shop - they both looked at it, and said it was not the sort they wanted; they wanted it to match. I said it was impossible to match without a pattern - they begged me to fetch another box, saying they knew the pattern. I fetched another box to them - they examined it (I had taken the first box away). I took one piece of lace out to show them, they took it in their hands, and then they took out two or three cards to look at themselves, and kept it sometime in their hands - I watched, and saw one card of lace drop on the lap of Hart, from the hand of Flannagan. Flannagan then took up another card, and said that was the lace she wanted; before they took up this card they put back the cards of lace which they had in their hands, except that which dropped in Hart's lap. Flannagan desired me to cut off three quarters of a yard - I cut it off the last card, it was worth 3 s. 8 d. a yard - I cut it off, put the lid of the box down, and put it away. I then told Mr. Copplestone (a person in the shop) what I had seen; he immediately took hold of Hart, I think, and took her into a room; and Flannagan was taken by another shopman into the room. Cross-examined by MR. PHILLIPS. Q. They paid for what they bought - A. I had not made a bill of it, or asked for payment. MR. DANIEL CORY . I am solicitor for the prosecutors, and know their names are Joseph Todd , James Morrison , and John Edward Todd . WILLIAM COPPLESTONE . I am shopman to the prosecutors. I went into a private room with the prisoners. I had before charged them with having a card of lace; they denied it. I took Hart by the arm, and took her into a private room, and felt a card of lace under her clothes which covered her arm - she tried to drop it by opening her arm, but I kept her arm close to her side until she got into the private room, and there took three cards of lace from under her arm; they measured about fifty-eight yards. Nothing was found on Flannagan. The house is the dwelling-house of James Morrison (Messrs. Todd do not reside there); it is in the parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate. There are three houses, which are connected together by covered passages. JACOB BOTFIELD . I am a constable. I took charge of the prisoners, and had the lace from Copplestone. As I was taking them to Newgate next morning, Flannagan said to Hart "She said the saw us drop the lace, and that will take the capital off." (Property produced and sworn to.) FLANNAGAN'S Defence. It is false; I did not drop it. FLANNAGAN - GUILTY . - DEATH . Aged 18. HART - GUILTY . - DEATH . Aged 16. Recommended to Mercy by the Prosecutors. London Jury, before Mr. Common Sergeant. --------------------------------------------------- National Archives. Criminal Petitions.
