SARAH JONES . I live as bar-maid there. I was present when the prisoner's boxes where brought down by the boy—the prisoner opened one with a key she had by her side—I saw the property found—the brooch is mine—these three waist-bands and apron had been in my bed-room—my things are worth about ten shillings.
