Continuing to do this after being reprimanded by Mr. Secker, she was carried before Sir John Fielding, where, though at first she took it wholly on herself, on further examination she owned that it was with Mr. Walker's consent that she took away the coals for his and her use in their apartments at her house.

Smythe, S. S.	Ovins, Gilbert.	Do.	Do.	Croydon	Do. for life.	The prosecutrix made every effort to save the prisoner's life, going 30 miles to Baron Smythe's house in Kent to renew her entreaties. In a letter to him, annexed, she says that if the prisoner should suffer death on her account, the terrors of her mind would be in-expressible. There is also annexed a letter from the judge, enclosing his report, and a recommendation to mercy from the foreman and two of the jury.	17 Aug.	40 a to d.

Fielding, Sir J.	Bull, Jane	Stealing goods out of a shop.	Transpn.	Guildhall		The prosecution was a favourable one, the offence, strictly speaking, being capital. The evidence was very clear, and the Court, out of compassion and to prevent them from further mischief, ordered her and her companion to be transported, it not appearing probable that they would get free from their bad connections. In other respects she certainly deserves mercy.	16 Dec.	75
