[Thomas Adcock was found guilty on 23 February 1744 and sentenced to transportation] Mrs. Burroughs. I saw the Prisoner come into the shop, and take away a bladder of hogs lard. I stood at the end of the counter, while he was in the shop, but was very much frightened, because I had no body in the house but myself. He looked me full in the face and went out with it. It was near a quarter of an hour afterwards before I could send for my husband: I described the Prisoner to him, and he was taken up about nine o'clock at night[.] […] Prisoner [Thomas Adcock]. I was then in Chick-Lane, hearing some girls singing of ballads; I believe they will come to my character, and prove where I was at that time. The balled-singers were called but did not come to the character of the Prisoner. Guilty. |
