20 December 1838

From: 1838 To: 1838

William Fleckney of Caddington Woodside (Herts) - on December 3 he lent Samuel Plummer a sack to bring him a bushel of potatoes. He did not bring them, and the next Monday said he had put the potatoes in the sack and lost it. The sack now produced is his property. He knows it as it is mended in three places. Samuel Plummer of Caddington Woodside (Herts) - he put the sack in the Limehouse at Cold Harbour where Mr Clark gave him leave to put the potatoes. He locked the Limehouse that night and put the key in his pocket. The next morning he found the door broken open and the sack and potatoes gone. It was the same night the lead was stolen. John Booth, constable of Luton - the sack produced is the same sack Morris gave him this morning.
