Catharine King: I live at the Blackmoor's Head in Brook's-Market.

 

Q. Do you remember any thing of the prosecutor [Thomas Mayo] and prisoner being together at your house?

 

King. I do; the prisoner was there some time before the prosecutor came in; they had a pot or two of beer together; then I perswaded [sic] the prosecutor to go home.

 

Q. What time was that, that you wanted him to go home?

 

King. That was between five and six o'clock; they were both in liquor; they staid drinking there 'till it grew later; the prisoner said he would go and see the other home[...]

 

Prisoner’s defence

[Ashmore, prisoner] I am a smith; I came to take a forge, and went to buy tools to set myself up; I went in at Mrs King's where I have us'd for several years; I was a little elevated in liquor; I was singing a song, and the prosecutor [Mayo] would force himself into company[.]
