Sentenced to transportation for 7 years for stealing, on the 29th October, 2lbs of bread valued at 4d., the goods of Daniel Francis Thurston. Daniel Thurston's wife gave evidence at the trial - 'I am the wife of Daniel Francis Thurston - he is a weaver , and does not live with me; I keep a bread-shop in Barbican. The prisoner is a stranger - she came into my shop last Thursday; I sent my little girl to serve her - she asked for a cottage loaf; we had none: the child came and said she had run away with the bread; I ran out, and took it from her - it was a 2lbs. loaf: I wanted to have nothing to say to her, and wished her to go away, but she gave me the most gross and abusive language, and I gave her in charge, as she used the most vulgar and obsence language possible, too shocking to repeat; I still wished her to go, but she followed me home, saying she would break every window in the house, and my head too.' James Noyes a constable in the watch house considered her conduct in the watch house to be 'most gross and scandalous, and her language dreadful' She was recognized as a most abandoned character, whom much pains had been taken with to reclaim. She was 16.
