I am shopman to Mr. Robert Hincksman , in Holborn ; I lost some shawls, on Friday, the 19th of January, between one and two; the prisoners came in under a pretence of buying some cotton for a child's frock; I shewed her some, whilst I was shewing her some, one of the girls, the prisoner Ann Parsley, asked the price of some shawls that lay on the counter; I told her half a guinea a-piece; then the other went to the counter, I followed them directly; the shawls were laying on the counter; while I was talking to the prisoner Flarty, I saw the prisoner Parsley steal three shawls, and I saw her put them under her apron; then they went out; when she came to the door, I saw part of the shawl stick out from under her apron; I went out, and took the shawls from under Parsley's apron; the prisoner Flarty went away, I did not take her; I called my master out of the back shop, and told him that she had stolen three shawls; then we sent for a constable, and took her be- before the Magistrate. When was the other taken? - On Saturday or Monday, I do not know which, the runner took her. Are you sure the other girl Phebe Flarty was the one that was in the shop? - Yes, I am quite sure of that. Did they both come together; - Yes, and went out together. JACOB FREEMAN sworn. When Parsley was taken, I had information from Twydale of the other person, and I went after her, and she was brought before the Magistrate, and Twydale came and swore to her person. What is become of the shawls? Twydale. I went up to the gallery with them, and when I came out again, I gave them to the woman at the door to take care of till I came back; and this morning I asked her for them, and she said that two men last night about ten, came and asked for them in my name, and she gave them to them; I think her name is Mrs. Storey, the door-keeper.
