Evidence: | Witness statement in trial for theft:
Esther Radford: [Bevan picks up parcel in Pond-street and takes it to Radford]... he gave them into my possession, and I put them into a bureau, and I desired my servant, when she went out, to get me a newspaper; which was produced to me on Monday; I read it through to see if such things were advertised; I saw no such thing... I fancy it was the Gazetteer and Daily Advertiser; it was the Monday's paper to the best of my knowledge, but I cannot particularly say; I looked the paper particularly through..." |
