[James Tobin was found guilty of theft on 30 May 1754 and sentenced to transportation] Elizabeth Poor: The prisoner [James Tobin, plaisterer] came to work at my house on the 14th of May; the second day he was at work I lost five full trimmed shifts, five sheets, three pillow-cases, a table-cloth, a child's mantle, and three aprons. I lost them out of a portmanteau trunk in the room where I lay that was the room where the prisoner was at work in. […] Q. from the prisoner. Was I by when my wife offered you any money? Elizabeth Poor: He was; and he and his wife were a singing in the constable's house. Prisoner. It is very unaccountable I should be singing, and taken up on suspicion of a robbery. |
