John Wyn: "On the 17th of December I had been looking over the papers there I read about Mr Parker's being robbed: I charged all my people, if any handkerchiefs were brought in to stop them; in about half an hour after came Alice Raney and Rose Fay; they offered me these three handkerchiefs...then I sent my boy for the Daily Advertiser, and read over the advertisement to them, and said they must certainly know the rest; they would not own any further..." |
