Old Bailey Online 90. FRANCES WRIGHT was indicted for stealing, on the 18th of February , 1 umbrella, value 5s., and 2 books, value 10s. , the goods of William Parrington . WILLIAM PARRINGTON. I keep the Horse and Groom public-house at Hackney ; the prisoner was my servant . On the 18th of January when I came down in the morning, my children gave me information; I missed a silk umbrella from its place, and the prisoner was out; she came back without it - I told her the children had seen her take it out - she denied it - I sent for an officer, who took her. JOHN GODDARD . I am an officer, and was fatched. The prosecutor said his children had seen the prisoner take an umbrella out; she pointed to one which hung up, and said that was the one she took out, and had brought home again; The prosecutrix said that was there while she was out - I afterwards found this umbrella and two books at Bristow's.

The prisoner put in a written defence, declaring that the articles were given her by Mrs. Perrington, instead of money, which she had agreed to allow her as chambermaid: but that the prosecutrix was frequently intoxicated and did not know what she was about; that the prosecutor had beaten his wife, and compelled her to deny giving them to her; it being done anknown to him, as they were constantly fighting.
