[Smith Dalton, new to London from Bristol, and Amy Pinhorn encountered each other at 8am at an alehouse; the listening experience occured around 10pm, following periods at pubs and in coaches with a soldier picked up along the way. Pinhorn was found not guilty of pocketpicking on 16 October 1765]

[Smith Dalton]: I said, madam, I suppose you have walked London streets before, and can walk home without a coach, and if you get a coach you must pay for it; she said she would. The fellow [a soldier] went for a coach; we got into it, she and I on one side, and the man on the other. I had not been long in the coach, before she unbuttoned my breeches, and laid her hands upon my private parts, that was the time she took my money; then she went to the other side of the coach, where the other man was: she laughed and sung. When we came to the fine house, which I saw was a bawdy-house, I went in, and unbuttoned my breeches pocket, and found my money gone; I thought with myself now she has flung me sure enough[.]
