Criminal*8 December 1762 The Old Bailey, Middlesex, England;
14. (M.) Daniel Moore was indicted for stealing one silver watch, value 21 s. one gold necklace and locket, value 30 s. one linnen cap, value 6 d. one linnen handkerchief, value 6 d. one black silk hood and one linnen apron, the property of Martha Sweetenham, widow, in the dwelling-house of the said Martha, Sept 7. *
Martha Sweetenham. The prisoner is an aprentice to a son-in-law of mine, a weaver, who lives near me in Hair-street, Bethnal-green. On the 7th of Sept. I lost the things mentioned in the indictment; they were taken out of two drawers, as I was going to bed. I saw three sleeves lying on the floor, I then opened my drawers and missed the things. I advertised them on the 10th; a poor girl happened to see the prisoner shewing the watch and necklace, she mentioned it to a person that had read the advertisement, by which means I came to the knowledge of it. I went as directed into Daniel's-alley, Whitaker-street, there I found one Ann Smith, she had got a handkerchief, a ribbon, and black silk hood, my property; we were going to have her committed, but she proposed to appear against the prisoner if we took him, but now she cannot be found; we took him in Nov. at a shuffle-board-table.
Elizabeth Cook. The prisoner gave me an apron and handkerchief, I never opened them, neither did I know how he came by them. (Produced in court and deposed to by prosecutor.)
E. Cook. I was out-asked to the prisoner.
Oswell Hill. I am headborough of the parish of Bethnal-green. This last witness is a girl of good character. Mr. Yardly and I apprehended the prisoner, he owned to me, he had had all the things, and where he had disposed of them; that he sold the watch to a soldier at Chatham barracks for 25 s.
Anthony Murrey I bought a locket of the prisoner at the bar; but I had sold it again before I knew it was stolen. I sold it for 13 s. and bought it for 12 s. There were three beads with it.
John Yardly. I heard the prisoner confess, he had stole all the things mentioned in the indictment. I am the prisoner's master.
Prisoner's Defence.
I was fuddled when he took me up. I am as innocent as the child unborn. The things that I had I found going along the street, at the corner of Slaughter-street, Brick-lane; I opened them, and did not know what to make of them; I was in want of money, so I sold them.
He called Henry Clark who had known him three years, Joseph Mitten above twenty, and Daniel Pennot seven, who all gave him a good character.
Guilty of stealing, but not in the dwelling-house. T[ransportation].;Principal=Martha Bland6
