PETER THIRSTON sworn. I live in Maidenhead-court, Wheeler-street, Spital-fields, in the parish of Christ-church . I am a worsted weaver . I lost the things in the indictment between the hours of six and ten, in November; I cannot tell the day of the month, but it was this day fortnight: the value of the silk I cannot tell; the master is not here; but I believe the value, as nigh as I can guess, is about nine or ten pounds: I saw the things at ten at night, and the next morning at six they were gone; I saw the things on Bet Ozeley's back (that is the prisoner) she was taken by the officer at Norton Falgate, last Thursday was a fortnight; she had my wife's cloak and bonnet on; I have known the prisoner above a twelvemonth; she slept in the same room with me and my wife; she was a week woman to my wife, a weekly servant; she went to bed when we went to bed; she blew out the candle; I cannot tell what time she went away; but the next morning she and the things were gone; she unlocked the door and let herself out; the key was in the door; my wife got up and locked the door after Bet Ozeley came in, and went to bed. LETITIA THURSTON sworn. I am wife of the last witness. The prisoner left work the afternoon before, at half past three; she told me she wanted to go for some work; she came home at seven at night, and brought home a new coloured apron; she said, mistress, will you let me have a drop of something to drink? this is my birth day; I said, neighbour Ozely, come, I hope it will be comfortable, it may be comfortable as we are old people, we will have a drop of twopenny together, that will comfort us both when we get into bed; I said, do not go down to open the door; but she did; and in the morning my chamber door was open: I got out of bed that very night for fear my door should not be locked, because I had a very great charge of my master Wilson's; in the morning I was told my door was open, by one Mr. Sawyer, who is not here; I saw my chamber door was open; I called, Bet Ozeley! Bet Ozeley! Bet Ozeley! my husband said, the woman is in a dead sleep; I missed my silk, and my cloak, and bonnet, and things; I found my cloak and bonnet on her when she was taken. JOHN ARMSTRONG sworn. On Thursday night, the 25th of November, I took the prisoner with this bonnet and cloak on; we never could find any thing of the silk. (The bonnet and cloak produced and deposed to.) ISAAC HEYLINS sworn. On Wednesday morning, about eight o'clock, I went to work with John Smith, and going along he gave me a handkerchief, and I carried it to the prisoner, and she said, she knew it; and she tied up the silk in it, and gave it to me; I do not know what became of the silk afterwards; he gave me three guineas and an half to take to her; it was black silk; it was warped silk: I heard Mr. Wilson say at the office, he was the owner of it, and it was worth six pounds. PRISONER's DEFENCE. I worked journey-work with Mrs. Thurston. My husband was abroad. This night was the 23d of November. I had been very early at work: I left off about four in the afternoon; I went out, had my supper, and went to bed; I was the last person that locked the door; and I believe about half after ten I was taken very ill; there was nothing in the house to drink, except water; I got up; I thought it was no harm to put on her hat and cloak, to go out; I went to the White Horse and had something; I stood by the fire, and warmed myself; when I returned I saw a bundle laying; it was black silk; I took it to John Smith ; he said, it was worth five pounds, and if I would stay till the morning, he would get a man to buy it; this young man came to me, and brought a handkerchief, and I put the silk into it; he returned about three in the afternoon, and brought me three guineas and a half, and they charged me six shillings for their trouble: I did not think of being called up to day, or else I should have had witnesses. GUILTY , Death . (Aged 42.) Tried by the first Middlesex Jury before Mr. Justice BULLER.
