I am the wife of Isaac Moore, of Earl-street Marylebone—I take in mangling. On the 6th of December, the prisoner came to have a petticoat mangled—on her taking it away.

JOHN GREYGOOSE . I am a pawnbroker, and live in Crawford-street. I produce the sheet and petticoat which were pledged by the prisoner—she said it was the property of her mother—the sheet being made of several pieces, I thought it was likely to belong to a poor person, and took it in—she has pledged at our shop before.
