JAMES CATLIN . I live at Southgate, and keep several servants—Duckering was my groom, and Baugh my cook—Duckering occupied a cottage about half a mile from my house—I had desired some one to watch my premises. On Saturday, the 10th of Aug., Duckering was brought back by the two policemen—Duckering said something to me—I sent for Baugh, and repeated to her that Duckering had said she had given him the things—I said, "John says you gave him these things (they were then on the table), you can do as you like about answering"—she hesitated, and said, "I did"—there was a loaf of bread, some dripping, two cloths, and some potatoes—Baugh was not justified in parting with any of these things, nor Duckering in receiving them.
Cross-examined by MR. DOANE. Q. These were all that she said she had given him? A. Yes—there were found on Duckering, afterwards, a fowl and a bottle of beer, in Baugh's presence—neither of them were produced before Baugh said this—there were about five or six pounds of potatoes found on him—Baugh said she had bought the bread of the baker—Saturday was the day for Duckering to go to his cottage.
JOSEPH CONISBE . I serve the prosecutor with bread. On the Saturday on which Baugh was given into custody I had not sold her any bread—I left ten half-quarterns, but she had not paid for any.
BAUGH— NOT GUILTY .
