On the 21st of August I took this watch in pledge for 12s., in the name of Mary Grub , No. 19, Fetter-lane; I believe the prisoner to be the person - (looking at a duplicate) this is the duplicate I gave her; she pawned it in the middle of the day.

I lodged there, and paid him 1s. a week; his wife was out, and they asked me to mind the children; he had a fight with his lodgers, and took them to the station next morning, and swore they had stolen his watch, but the inspector would not take the charge; on Wednesday morning his wife took two tickets out of the box, and asked if I could read; I said No, but one was marked 1s. 6d.; she then went to the box, gave me this ticket, and told me to mind it for her - I did not know what it was for till I was taken. GUILTY of stealing, but not from the person. Aged 36. Transported for Seven Years.
