Rosina Carpenter, on behalf of the prisoner May, deposed, that she lived at Macbeth-court, Golden-lane; that she was acquainted with May for the last fourteen or fifteen years. That May came to her between four and five o'clock on Thursday, the 3d of November, and stayed with her till twelve o'clock next day.
On cross-examination, the witness stated, that she had slept several nights with the prisoner May before the 3d of November, and that nobody saw them together on that occasion.
Sarah Truby was recalled, in order to show that she had never, at any time, seen white mice in Bishop's possession.
The prisoner Bishop.—What! did you never see any?
Witness.—No; never.
Bishop.—Not about six months ago? Don't you recollect your cat having killed some in my garden.
Witness.—Never.
Mrs. Mary Dodswell lived at 26, Hoxton Old Town: kept a second-hand clothes and sale shop. Knew the prisoner Bishop's wife. Sold a cap to her about two years ago. The cap was a cloth one, with a black leather cape.
[The cap found at Bishop's, and alleged to have been that worn by the Italian boy, was a brown hair one, with green leather front.]
The prisoner Bishop.—Mrs. Dodswell, don't you recollect your having sold my wife two caps at the same time?
