Indictment against David Ellis of pa. Llanrhaeadr, labourer, for stealing one piece of oak timber of the value

of 2s property of Revd Robert Jones, clerk, on 14 December 1809 from the said parish. Prosecutor & witness: Robert Jones, clerk. Witness: George Humphreys.

Examination-theft. [1810H8, 14] 17 October 1809. The information and complaint of Richard Griffiths, partner with Oliver Jones of the town

of Welshpool, grocer, taken before Robert Wilding and Edward Pugh, esqs., J.P.s for the said borough. Says

that yesterday morning having received a quantity of teas and sugars in the afternoon he told Stansall Williams, one of informants apprentices, to unpack the chest of loaves of sugar (there being but one chest of

loaf sugar) and at the same time gave him on a piece of paper the number of the loaves and told him to be

careful in weighing them. That the said Stansall Williams did unpack the chest and placed the loaves of sugar

on a counter but before he had time to weigh them the other apprentices and porters being engaged in serving customers and another customer coming in the said Stansall Williams served him before he had time to

weigh the sugar, that shortly after he had served the customer as aforesaid he came and informed examinant,

who was in the counting house, that there two loaves short, and asked him examinant if there were any packed in any other chest who said certainly not, there was not another chest of them. Examinant then went

into the shop and put all the loaves into the chest that were then on the counter to see if there was any

apparent deficiency when it appeared there were two missing, he told one of the porters to take the chest to

the warehouse to be weighed who having weighed it and informed examinant of the weight was convinced two loaves had been stolen as it did not correspond with the invoice sent nor with the weight as weighed in

the morning. Upon examinant saying that they must have been stolen John Williams, one of the porters, said

he recollected seeing Jane Lloyd, a woman of bad character in the shop. That informant ordered the said John Williams to look into the different public shops in the town and see if she was in either, that he

frequently returned saying he could not see her. Informant then, on finding the said John Williams knew

where she lived desired him and the said Stansall Williams to go after her. That in about half an hour Stansall Williams returned saying that they had found the woman. Some short time afterwards informant went to

meet them where Ann Evans commonly called Nancy Waters begged he would forgive them that their lives

were in his hands. Richard Griffiths*.

The examination of the said Stansall Williams. Said that yesterday afternoon the said Mr Griffiths gave him a chest of sugars which he desired examinant to open and to see if they were right. That examinant did open

the chest and laid the sugar on the counter but before he had time to see if the number was right he was

called off to a customer there being many people in the shop. That the sugar was put near the door but that he

went to the other end of the shop to serve the customer above mentioned. That when he had done that he

went again to the sugar where on comparing the number of the loaves with the number on a piece of paper

delivered to him by the said Mr Griffiths he perceived two were missing. He then went and informed the said Mr Griffiths of the circumstance and asked him if there were any packed in any other chest who said they

were not. That after the said John Williams had been looking in the different shops to endeavour to find the

woman he suspected of stealing the sugar he and examinant went to the road they supposed the said woman (Jane Lloyd) would return home. That near Pwll-y-glo common out of any road either horse or foot they

overtook two women. When examinant asked one of them the way to Dolobran when she answered we do

not know the way to Dolobran we are strange ourselves. The said John Williams came up took hold of her

looked her in the face and said this is the woman and here is the sugar putting his hand on her back and said to her what did you take out of the corner shop just now. Me take from the corner shop? says she and

dropped a loaf of sugar down and began to cry and speak to the said John Williams in Welsh. That this was

Jane Lloyd. That the other woman, Anne Evans who was a few yards from them was going off when examinant went after her and asked her what had she behind her who said I have nothing but bread you may

look. Examinant then put his hand under her cloak, felt the point of a loaf of sugar as he supposed and said

here is the sugar. She then threw the sugar and a loaf of bread on the ground saying here is your goods, here

is your sugar and we will pay for them, and fell on her knees and begged that they might be permitted to go home to their children that there was nobody with them and that that they had no meal. That examinant

brought the said Anne Evans to the said John Williams while he went to get some assistance the said John

Williams not being able to get the other woman off the ground to take her to Welshpool. That examinant went and got three persons to assist to bring the women to Welshpool they showing great reluctance to come.

That one of the persons who came to their assistance asked the said Anne Evans how she came to steal the

sugar she said she did not steal them. Examinant then asked her how she came by them who said she had it from the other woman. How came the other woman by them. Examinant said Anne Evans said she did not

know. Examinant asked if she bought them. Anne Evans said no. Do you think she found them said

examinant. No said Anne Evans. The certainly she must have stolen them. Well ay Anne Evans said.

Examinant said you must have been as bad as the other woman. Anne Evans then fell on her knees and begged for pardon and said if he would only let her go home they should never see the colour of her again in

Welshpool. That they both frequently begged for pardon and said that they never do the like again if they

should be permitted to go home. That he verily believes the two loaves of sugar now produced are the same as delivered to him by the said John Williams and that they are the property of the said proprietors Jones and

Griffiths as corresponding with the weight and numbers of two that are missing from the chest above

mentioned. Stansall Williams*. The examination of John Williams. Says that finding from the said Mr Griffiths and Stansall Williams that

two loaves of sugar were supposed to have been stolen out of his masters shop yesterday evening he

endeavoured to recollect who had been in it during the time they must have been lost as the said Stansall

Williams who had the care of the sugars to unpack out of a chest was not from it for any long time. That he remembered seeing Jane Lloyd and another woman whom he believes to be Anne Evans in the shop during

the time the said Stansall Williams was serving a customer, which was at the farthest end of the shop and the

sugar was at the end near the door where the said women were. That there were many people in the shop it being market day. That knowing the said Jane Lloyd to be woman of bad character he immediately suspected

her and informed Mr Griffiths of his suspicions. That Jane Lloyd purchased a comb which examinant served

her with and reaching her hand over the counter pointed to a knife which she wanted to look at. That the

loaves of sugar in question and several others were on the counter just before the said Jane Lloyd. That examinant turned his back to the counter to get the knife during which time he supposes the two loaves were

taken. That while examinant was endeavouring to reach the knife down Jane Lloyd said never mind now I do

not want it now I will call another time. That the other woman bought some knitting needle which Evan Bunner, the other porter, served her with. That having, by Mr Griffiths desire, looked into the different shops

in the town to try if he could see the said Jane Lloyd without effect he and Stansall Williams went after her

the way he supposed she would go knowing where she lived. That they overtook two women and while Stansall Williams was talking to one of them examinant took hold of Jane Lloyd and putting his hand on her

back where he felt as he supposed the sugar he asked her what did she take out of the corner shop, when she

said Me take out of the corner shop? I have not been there yet said she. Dont you recollect buying a

comb of me? She then fell on her knees and said here are the goods for Gods sake let us go. Why did you take them from the corner shop? said he. Because the devil was too strong for me she said. This was in

Welsh. That both of them frequently said while Stansall Williams was absent in Welsh that if they should be

forgiven they would never do so any more. That the two loaves of sugar were in examinants possession

from the time they were taken from the women till he came into Mr Joness kitchen and when they were laid

on the dresser. John Williams*.

Examination of Evan Bunner. Says that yesterday morning he weighed a chest of sugar by Mr Griffiths desire which was 1cwt-0 qtr-24lbs including the chest. That he also weighed the chest with the sugar in it

this morning excepting the two loaves now produces when it was 13lbs short of the above weight. That

adding the said two loaves to the others he found by again weighing that they were exactly the original weight. Evan Bynner*.
