I am shopman to my brother William, linen-draper , of the Minories . The prisoners came to the shop between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, and looked at several pieces of print, and after shewing them several they fixed on two remnants, which came to 8s. - I folded them up, and they said they would pay 2s. deposit; Henley put her hand to her pocket, and said she had left her money on the mantel-shelf, and would leave me her shawl till she brought the 2s.: they left the shop - I suspected them, went out and brought them back, and saw this linen fall from Cannon; I charged her with taking it - she said she knew nothing about it; I stopped them five or six yards from the door - I have some recollection of them both before.
