ANN TRUNKETT sworn.
I am wife of Henry Trunkett ; on the 30th of September, I had been out to Covent-Garden market, and was returning into Bloomsbury, between eight and nine, where I live, two girls passed me and returned into the middle of the street, and the tallest of the girls struck at me, I was on the foot-path, the tallest of the two attempted to strike me, I shrunk back, I received a blow on my nose and the side of my face; she struck me again, and I received a blow on my neck near my throat, with her hand, with her fist; at the same time, the same person that struck me tore my locket from my handkerchief, and my handkerchief all down, she ran by me and went towards Covent-Garden; I was stupified with the blow for a moment, I did not call out for any assistance, but on recovering myself I turned round and saw she had turned into the Pizzas, I saw my locket in her hand with a piece of my handkerchief, she turned round and d - d me for a b - h, and held up her fist.
What time was this? - It might be half an hour or thirty-five minutes after eight.
You spoke of two of them? - Yes, the other stood by the side of me all the time, but did not meddle with me at all; she did not offer to assist me nor make her escape.
Did she go away when the tall one went off? - No, she stood still.
Have you any thing to say against the woman at the bar? - I will not swear to her, but I believe she is the woman.
How soon after did you see her? - That was on the Saturday evening, and I saw her on the Monday night at the watch-house in company with two more; I saw the locket before the magistrate.
Did she say any thing to you before she struck you? - Nothing to the best of my remembrance.
Had you pushed against her, or any thing of that kind? - No, I saw them there and gave way; they came from behind me, they went on before to the dark part of the street, and turned back and met me, by that time I was got to the dark part of Hart-street, which leads into James's-street .
Court. Could you observe whether she snatched at your locket? - It has a buckle in the back of it that goes through and through the handkerchief; it was tight in the handkerchief, it was pulled out.
What was the handkerchief? - It was muslin, it is here I believe some part of it.
ELIZABETH GARDNER sworn.
As I was coming through the Piazzas on Saturday night, me and another girl, to the best of my remembrance a little after eight, the gentlewoman the prisoner called over to the other girl that was along side of me, I asked her if she would have any thing to drink, with that Mary Long and me and the other girl immediately crossed over the way.
What is the other girl's name? - Margaret Holmes ; then we crossed all three of us into James's-street, and went to the wine vaults; I asked the other girl if she would go home, and she said yes; so, says the girl at the bar, I will go see you to the top of James-street, and before ever we got to the top of James-street, the lady laid hold of me; I asked her what was the matter; she said she was robbed of her handkerchief; then I went through the Piazzas and I met the prisoner, and she shewed me the handkerchief pin, and she wanted me to lay hold of it in my hand, but I would not: immediately then I went through the Piazzas and went home.
How came she by that handkerchief-pin? - I do not know indeed.
Where was the prisoner before the lady laid hold of you? - She was in James-street, she was about a yard and a half off, I saw her do nothing to the lady; the lady told me that the prisoner snatched the pin out of her bosom; she ran away in the space of two minutes before the lady laid hold of me, the lady was close to me at the time the prisoner ran away; I did not see any thing done to her.
What became of that handkerchief pin? - I do not know.
What sort of a thing was it? - I only just saw it in her hand, it was all round trimmed with white stones, it glistened very much, I thought it had been diamonds.
JOHN DAVIS sworn.
On Saturday evening, the 30th of September, I was crossing the way, and I saw the prisoner come running down James-street, and as she passed me I heard the lady cry out stop that woman, she has robbed me; I immediately run after her, she turned the corner of the Piazza, and I lost sight of her, I returned back to the lady, and she was all of a fright, I saw no more of it.
Are you sure it was the prisoner you saw running? - Yes, I had seen her before, I knew her by sight.
Where do you live? - In Covent-Garden.
JACOB FREEMAN sworn.
The night after the robbery was committed, I heard there had been an information laid at Bow-street concerning this robbery, and I heard the prisoner's name mentioned, I went on Sunday morning and apprehended all the three girls according to information, the prisoner for one, and this little girl that has just been examined, and another, were in three separate apartments and three separate houses; and knowing the prisoner I went first for her, I took her out of bed, and put her in custody of one of the officers that were with me, then I went in search of the others; the next I took was this little girl, says she, you do not want me, you want Mary Long ; says I, how do you know that, says she, because Mary Long has the pin, I have not got it; and the prisoner said afterwards, if you will go back with me I will shew you where it is; she took me back to her house, and in the two pair of stairs, in the window that had been blinded, no light in it, she had hid the pin, she felt about a good while and pretended she could not find it, the window being very high I could not get up, she called a little boy and he clambered up and found it.
(The pin produced and deposed to.)
Here is the handkerchief I had from the lady.
You found no part of the handkerchief? - No, I did not.
PRISONER's DEFENCE.
The man took me out of bed on Sunday morning, between eight and nine, to go with him, I asked him for what; he said, there was a robbery done about a lady's pin; coming down stairs, it is a light window on the stairs, and he swept his hand along the window, and said this is what I wanted; I did not give him the pin.
