About ten days previous to last September a circumstance took place in which they attempted to implicate me in taking eleven sovereigns and a watch -I found the person who had been guilty of it; I advised him to return, but he would not - I then promised that I would take it all upon myself; I wrote a letter to my mother-in-law, stating that I had eight sovereigns and a half, and if they would send to me I would deliver them up - a Bow-street officer accompanied them, and took me; I was in confinement, and when I went into society again I could get no situation - I had one hundred and four guineas a year in my former situation; I had discharged some men for drunkenness, and they took this opportunity of injuring me - I am guilty of this crime, but previous I had been like Caesar's wife, beyond suspicion; I told the officer that I sought for transportation, as I was miserable - happiness is the pursuit of every man, and I must seek it through the means of transportation.
