hour returned with a pair of boots, and said,
"Master gave me the boots." On Tuesday evening
she came in crying, and said, "Annie Neater says
that I have stolen a hat from Miss Wallis's." I said,
my dear, you know where you bad the bat from, and
she said, " indeed, mother, master gave it to me."
I said, don't you cry, and I'll send up to your
governess in the morning and get those girls punished
that call after you. About in o'cl, ok on
Wednesday morning I sent an elder girl to Mrs.
Ash to ask if she knew why the children crAled
Sarah a thief, and I was brought word back
that Mrs. Ash would punish them if she
knew who it was. About 11 o'clock Mr.
Wallis and Mr. Ash came to our house, and
asked if Sarah brought home a Leghorn hat. I said
yea. They said did she bring anything else. I said '
yea, a pared, which Mr. Ash had given her, for
which I said, I return Mr. Ash many thanks. Mr.
Ash shook his head, and said, " I did no suoh thing,
the parcel is stolen from Mr. Wallis's." I produced
the parcel. The calico was cut to make clothing for
my daughter. I offered to pay Mr. Wallis for the
calico. He said, "Oh, no, Igo to Captain Manniog
first." I went to Miss Wallis, who said a marine's
house had been searched the day before, and that she
saw • marine's wife put her hand on the parcel, and
she coulk.Lalmoat have sworn she took it. (Miss
Wallis dallied this.) I stayed there three hours. I
desired Miss Wallis to take the child, es I had had
no conversation with her, and ask her what she said
when she brought the things home. Miss Wallis
went to the school, hut Sarah had gone home.—The
younger prisoner said she bad nothing to say.—A :
second charge was then gone into. A pair of boots
were produced when the parcel of drapery was
deliVered up to Mr. Wallis, which were identified
by Mr. Henry Russell, draper, as his property.—
The two female pritoners were committed for trial
at the ensuing sessions.
